This only bounds passed parameters as there is no good way of refusing
the parameter setting. This mostly means that passing NaN's won't
crash the simulator.
This is to achieve a clean separation of concerns - the watchdog is an inappropriate place for work management.
Also adds a WorkManager.RunInThreadPool() class which feeds through to Util.FireAndForget.
Also switches around the name and obj arguments to the new RunInThread() and RunJob() methods so that the callback obj comes after the callback as seen in the SDK and elsewhere
Instead of processing all incoming attachment scene object concurrently, process them consecutively to eliminate potential overload from this source.
This is a naive implementation because it does not currently account for slow foreign asset services.
Although it may take longer, this approach may also improve attachment visibility for HG avatars
since the scene object is now always added to the scene after receiving assets from the foreign service and not before.
This is done by adjusting the order of code so that SceneAgent will always be set before adding the client.
Various parts of the code (rightly) assume that a a client registered to the manager will always have a SceneAgent set no matter what.
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)
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.
