Get the error tolerance of the joint.

the distance beyond the joint's [min, max] range before the joint becomes active.

Default 0.25f * PxTolerancesScale::length Range (0, PX_MAX_F32)

This value should be used to ensure that if the minimum distance is zero and the spring function is in use, the rest length of the spring is non-zero.
