 * ArcadePhysics.World.separateCircle is a new method that handles all circular body collisions internally within Arcade Physics (thanks @VitaZheltyakov)
 * All of the Arcade Physics internal methods, such as `collideGroupVsSelf`, `collideSpriteVsSprite` and so on, have been updated to work with circular body shapes (thanks @VitaZheltyakov)
 * ArcadePhysics.Body.onWorldBounds is a new Signal that is dispatched whenever the Body collides with the world bounds, something that was previously difficult to detect. Due to the potentially high volume of signals this could create it is disabled by default. To use this feature set this property to a Phaser.Signal: `sprite.body.onWorldBounds = new Phaser.Signal()` and it will be called when a collision happens, passing one argument: the sprite on which it occurred.
