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.
this appears to cause problems with the system timer resolution.
This caused a problem with tokens going into the root throttle as
bursts leading to some starvation.
Also changed EnqueueOutgoing to always queue a packet if there
are already packets in the queue. Ensures consistent ordering
of packet sends.

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.
when client and simulator throttles are set. This algorithm also uses
pre-defined burst rate of 150% of the sustained rate for each of the
throttles.
Removed the "state" queue. The state queue is not a Linden queue and
appeared to be used just to get kill packets sent.

time to wait to retransmit packets) always maxed out (no retransmissions

Note that this is going to cause faster (and more) retransmissions. Fix
for dynamic throttling needs to go with this.
Handling these synchronously kills the inbound packet loop if many requests are made for remote land and those requests are handled slowly or timeout (timeout is 10s)
This can happen if a user searches for "land for sale" and then clicks many of the parcels in the list (or just presses down arrow to move through every entry).
This applies to adding/removing estate users, groups, managers and bans.
This is the application of the AllEstates_0.5.patch from http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5420
Thanks very much, Snoopy!

In order to pass ILandObject into IClientAPI.SendLandProperties(), had to push ILandObject and IPrimCounts into OpenSim.Framework from OpenSim.Region.Framework.Interfaces, in order to avoid ci
Counts are showing odd behaviour at the moment, this will be addressed shortly.
