This setting was originally added some time ago to deal with issues where appearance was not received properly by all users.
However, it does not scale well with large numbers of agents.
Disabling to see if the original problem has abated or whether this will have to be tackled in another way.
The functionality is the same but this allow us to monitor such tasks via "show threads" and abort them for test purposes, etc.
Also extends thread names to provide more info (e.g. SendInitialDataToClient says what client the task is for).
This is to see if an inaccuracy in sleep times under load is responsible for increase in frame times even when there is spare time still available.
Can currently only be activated by setting "debug scene set update-on-timer true".
Can be switched between timer and thread with sleep updates whilst the scene is running.
If n > 1 for RootTerseUpdatePeriod only every n terse update is actually sent to observers on same region, unless velocity is effectively zero (to stop av drift).
If n > 1 for ChildTerseUpdatePeriod only every n terse update is sent to observers in other regions, unless velocity is effectively zero.
Defaults are same as before (all packets are sent).
Tradeoff is reduction of UDP traffic vs fidelity of observed av mvmt.
Increasing n > 1 leads to jerky observed mvmt immediateley for root, though not on child, where experimentally have gone to n = 4 before jerkiness is noticeable.
These govern when AgentUpdates are sent to observers on position, rotation and velocity changes to an avatar (including the avatar themselves).
Higher values reduce AgentUpdate traffic but at a certain level will degrade smoothness of avatar and perceived avatar movement.
Allows experiments in manually reducing updates under heavy load.
Activated by "debug scene set client-upd-per" console command.
In a simple test, can send as few as every 4th update before observed movement starts becoming disturbingly rubber-banded.
This governs when child agent position changes are sent to neighbouring regions.
Corresponding config parameter is ChildReprioritizationDistance in [InterestManagement] in OpenSim.ini
For test purposes.
I forgot that a null 'their version' would not be passed over the wire and ends up as an empty string instead (like older simulators).
So instead pass through the correct simulator protcol version instead (SIMULATOR/0.3) when querying from login or hg login.
Also removes a debug console write for agent limit accidentally left in for the same commit.

Previously we used a heuristic of checking if the entry position is 0 to differentiate between Teleport and Cross, but that doesn't work anymore since we've started providing the precise entry position for cross, too. That's required in order to ensure that the user is allowed to enter the parcel that he's walking into.
Recent versions of Firestorm and Singularity have started sending the viewer name in the 'Channel' field, leaving only their version number in the 'Viewer' field. So we need to search both of these fields for the viewer name.
This resolves http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6952
This is to allow small adjustments of less than 0.05m in functions such as llSetPrimitiveLinkParams() to work
This is another fix for http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=7044
Extends regression test for this case.
region. This is a temp fix for the use of draw distance to compute child
regions. Eventually must use the draw distance from the viewer for the
computation.
This commit eliminates all of the 'border' class and list code and replaces
it with testing if in the current region.
Impacts: can make a mega-region out of varregions of the same size; and
mega-region combinations must be rectangular (not square but rectangular)
