Dig particles: Various improvements (#7714)

Improve codestyle.
Add clarifying comments.
Use 'movement_gravity' setting and physics override instead of hardcoded value.
Halve number of particles in final 'node dug' burst.
Avoid extremely small, near-invisible particles.
Increase velocity to increase number emerging from within a cubic node.
