This cleans up Opensim's use of mono addins. In particular, the extension points /OpenSim/RegionModules and /OpenSim/WindModule moved from OpenSim.exe to OpenSim.Region.Framework.dll. From here on, developers of region modules should declare their dlls to be dependent on OpenSim.Region.Framework, starting with version 0.8.1
Additional changes:
- Addins version uniformly updated to 0.8.1. These numbers should be compatible with the release numbers or else it becomes very confusing.
- Mono addins directives moved from files addins.xml to embedded directives in the class and assembly declarations, to make it all consistent
throttles. Setting adaptive_throttle_min_bps will change the
minimum rate that the adapative throttles will drop to in case
of network packet loss. The current rate default rate is 256kbps.
The viewer can throttle rates under that amount, but the dynamic
adaptation will not.
If log level is 1 then every script load is logged.
This means the <logger name="OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine.XEngine"> section in OpenSim.exe.config is no longer needed to avoid log spam on regions with many scripts and can be removed.
This is implemented with a new collision type (PhantomToOthersAvatar) to potentially allow colliding and non-colliding avatars to be present in the same scene.
So there is no provision yet for giving avatars different collision types.
This commit replaces the temporary change in commit f3eaa6d8 where avatars would never collide when using BulletSim
This is equivalent to the av_av_collisions_off option in ODE.
This resolves an issue with pCampbot where some bots would occasionally connect with the same UDP source port.
This sometimes led to console messages where bots would report receiving packets multiple times that weren't marked as resends.

This shows summary wearables information (shape, hair, etc.) for all avatars in the scene or specific information about a given avatar's wearables.
Similar to the existing "attachments show" command.
This is the same as already done for scene_throttle_max_bps
Internally, the token buckets are in bytes and the other help text makes it clear that the number is bytes per second
(though with the wrong assumption that 1 mbit = 1024 * 1024 bits whereas 1 mbit = 1000 kbits = 1000000 bits)

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.
[Startup] default setting UpdateTempCleaningEveryNFrames becomes UpdateTempCleaningEveryNSeconds.
Default becomes 180s instead of effective 182s (which would also vary with any changes in frame time or extra long frames)
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.
This adds the "show stats", "stats record", etc. commands and information on available Threadpool threads, etc.
It also adds the Watchdog which logs warnings if time between executions is unexpectedly large.
Experimentally, on the Linden Lab grid the avatar can rotate slightly before triggering AvatarUpdates, whereas this is practically impossible in OpenSimulator.
These updates allow other avatars to see rotations, though sensitivity is low since other avatars can only be seen in one of 8 body rotations.
This commit changes sensitivity from 0.01 to 0.1, which better matches LL and reduces UDP traffic which has a beneficial impact on network and CPU load.
This has no impact on rotations in the simulator itself so simulation fidelity is the same as before.
To change this setting back for test/other purposes, edit RootRotationUpdateTolerance in the [InterestManagement] section of OpenSim.ini
Running out of such threads under heavy load causes delayed packet processing which can lead to spurious UDP resends and knock on issues.
We already massively boost the min/max builtin pool worker and IOCP threads (which even with STP are still used for inbound network requests) without obvious adverse effects.
The threads are only instantiated if they are required.
This change does not affect other async_call_method options.
Move the experimental extra features functionality into the GridService. This sends default values for map, search and destination guide, plus ExportSupported control to the region on startup. Please watch http://opensimulator.org/wiki/SimulatorFeatures_Extras for changes and documentation.
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.
