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.
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.
Corresponds to ResendAppearnceUpdates setting in [Appearance] in OpenSim.ini
This was originally implemented to alleviate cloud appearance problems but could be too expensive with large numbers of avatars.
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.
This commit eliminates all of the 'border' class and list code and replaces
it with testing if in the current region.
Impacts: can make a mega-region out of varregions of the same size; and
mega-region combinations must be rectangular (not square but rectangular)
