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.
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).
Other parts of OpenSimulator are relying on SP.Velocity == 0 for vehicles.
So add and use SP.GetWorldVelocity() instead when we need vehicle velocity, along the same lines as existing SP.GetWorldRotation()

Setting STATUS_BLOCK_GRAB_OBJECT prevents or allows move of a physical linkset by grab on any prim.
Setting STATUS_BLOCK_GRAB prevents or allows move of a physical linkset by grab on a particular prim.
Previously, setting STATUS_BLOCK_GRAB would prevent drag via all prims of the linkset.
This was previously effectively being done by XmlDocument in the multiple passes through the XML.
This change tells XmlReader to ignore whitespace. This also means changing arguments to use XmlReader instead of XmlTextReader (a descendent of XmlReader) directly.
XmlReader.Create() has been the recommend way to create XML readers since .NET 2.0 as per MS SDK and is the only way to specific ignore whitespace settings.
Reading large XML documents (e.g. complex attachments) is CPU expensive - this must be done as few times as possible (preferably just once).
Reading these documents into XmlDocument is also more resource intensive than using XmlTextReader, as per Microsoft's own publication "Improve .NET Application Performance and Scalability"
Optimization of other cases will follow if this change is successful.
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.
Rapid polls are more expensive than triggered events (several polls vs one trigger) and may be problematic on heavily loaded simulators where many threads are vying for processor time.
A triggered event is also slightly quicker as there is no maximum 200ms wait between polls.
This is already going to be correctly set by WaitForUpdateAgent() earlier on in that method, which is always called where a callback to the originating region is required.
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.

Another manifestation of this bug is that after a Hypergrid teleport, when you click on one of the avatar's attachments the object doesn't show its name. This means that the viewer knows the attachment is there, but the simulator does not.
The problem was caused by treating Hypergrid teleports as if they're Logins (because the teleport flag ViaLogin is enabled).

This caused the client to stop responding, and even the simulators to have problems. The solution is to disallow crossing before the previous cross has completed.
