This is to avoid bugs where the locale is not manually set on the thread and bad data values get sent to the database or over the wire.
Lots of code does this manually but as we've seen, a subtle change can hit code which has forgotton to do this.
Since en_US show be used throughout the server at present, setting it at FireAndForget seems reasonable.
Arguably, it would be better to do this where data is sent, but doing it here is much easier.
All the manual BeginInvokes() remaining in the code should probably call FireAndForget instead.
This is to prevent situations where the first name returned by GridService.GetRegionsByName is not one that exactly matches the given region name, even when there is an exact match later on in the list.
Only the above two functions call this teleport method (the map uses a different routine) so this seems safe to change.

This is to accomodate situations where the authorization service is being used by the hypergrid, where visitors have no user account.
See http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5517, this code is somewhat adapted/cleaned up from Michelle's patch
I'm a little ambivalent about this since visitors could put anything in firstname/lastname so it's not much of an auth measure.
It's up to the auth service to decide which data it actually uses.
Possibly we should be passing through other info such as agent circuit ip
When this setting is false and other defaults haven't been changed, scripts entering the simulator from another sim are automatically restarted but their state is not preserved.
When this setting is true, state that accompanies the script is reloaded (e.g. if a script had a variable i = 1 when leaving the source region, it will still have i = 1 on the destination region).
This setting does not affect crossings when regions are run in the same simulator. In this case, state is already preserved.
Users should not be given the impression that they can modify these items.
This still does not solve the issue where library items cannot be dragged into prims or user inventory any time after they are initially seen.
Curiously, manually copying and pasting still appears to work.
On the surface, this seems to have something to do with library item caching on the client, since deleting the cache allows drag to work again once
Not sure what the exact problem is.
Some items had completely wrong permissions - this is easier than correcting them all.
The ability to set permissions in xml is retained since there are use cases for this (e.g. to create no-mod library scripts)
Library items always need the same permissions, so it doesn't make sense to load them from the xml files. This just opens the door to permissions mistakes.
Fixed this by inspecting Shape.SculptEntry at various places instead of Shape.SculptType. Sculpties actually have a SculptType of Cylinder - only true mesh is SculptType.Mesh
