The children of RigidBody2D do not apply scaling during runtime

Issue description

It's fine in the editor, but it's not working correctly when running the game.

Steps to reproduce

Create a new 2D scene, add a RigidBody2D node to root Node2D, add a child node Sprite2D to the RigidBody2D, and then set the Scale of the Node2D's Transform to (2,2).

The scale of a RigidBody is intended to be always one. If you scale the RigidBody 2D it sends this Warning:

if you check the scale when the body is ready and in it's first physic's update the result is exactly the described by the warning: Is 1 when ready and 0.5 while it gets to the first physic's update. Is 0.5 to compensate of the parent distorting its transform to 2.

so, technically is not a bug as is intended behavior.

Alright, now closing this question. I will avoid using scaling in Transform when using physics nodes.
