Add experimental job engine to see if queueing some existing async work during root agent entry to a region improves perf rather than always attempting to execute everything concurrently

Job engine is controlled via "debug jobengine start|stop|status".
Can only currently be enabled and disabled dynamically at runtime.
Currently only applies to code sending initial region data (objects, other avatar data) to a client.
