and currently used for all of an avatars attachments by the other
policies. Also changed the way items are pulled from the update queues
to bias close objects even more.
command to look at the entity update priority queue. Added a "name" parameter
to show queues, show pqueues and show throttles to look at data for a specific
user.
per Melanie's very good suggestion. The immediate queue is
serviced completely before all others, making it a very good
place to put avatar updates & attachments.
Moved the priority queue out of the LLUDP directory and
into the framework. It is now a fairly general utility.

It turns out that viewer 2 was upset by the lack of a response to viv_watcher.php. This would send it into a continuous login loop.
Viewer 1 was quite happy to ignore the lack of response.
This commit puts in the bare minimum 'OK' message in response to viv_watcher.php. This allows viewer 2 voice to connect and appears to work.
However, at some point we need to fill out the watcher response, whatever that is.
Often, by the time the UDPServer realizes that an entity update packet
has not been acknowledged, there is a newer update for the same entity
already queued up or there is a higher priority update that should be
sent first. This patch eliminates 1:1 packet resends for unacked entity
update packets. Insteawd, unacked update packets are decomposed into the
original entity updates and those updates are placed back into the
priority queues based on their new priority but the original update
timestamp. This will generally place them at the head of the line to be
put back on the wire as a new outgoing packet but prevents the resend
queue from filling up with multiple stale updates for the same entity.
This new approach takes advantage of the UDP nature of the Linden protocol
in that the intent of a reliable update packet is that if it goes
unacknowledge, SOMETHING has to happen to get the update to the client.
We are simply making sure that we are resending current object state
rather than stale object state.
Additionally, this patch includes a generalized callback mechanism so
that any caller can specify their own method to call when a packet
expires without being acknowledged. We use this mechanism to requeue
update packets and otherwise use the UDPServer default method of just
putting expired packets in the resend queue.
types of property updates to be specified. Not sure if one form
of property update should supercede another. But for now the old
OpenSim behavior is preserved by sending both.
to the entity update queue. The number of property packets can
become significant when selecting/deselecting large numbers of
objects.
This is experimental code.
However, the calls to the land management module to record prims need to remain, since they were also being used to return owner object lists, etc.
This is probably why prim counts were being done there in the first place.
