console system for the new grid services. No functional change intended :)
interface. Shared modules will now only get added once, so the command
handler is called once per module, not once per scene. Removal of scenes
has no adverse effects. Nonshared modules will be called for each scene.

from the presence module to the message server, through the user server
and on into the database. This should fix the "Already logged in" issue
that grids see after a sim crashes, or a user crashes out of a sim.
Not yet a 100% solution for friends, but getting there.
on-/offline updates, calling cards for friends.
This adds methods in the DB layer and changes the MessagingServer, so a full
update (incl. UGAIM) is necessary to get it working. Older regions shouldn't
break, nor should older UGAIM break newer regions, but friends/presence will
only work with all concerned parts (UGAIM, source region and destination
region) at this revision (or later).
I added the DB code for MSSQL, too, but couldn't test that.
BEWARE: May contain bugs.
* This is a HUGE OMG update and will definitely have unknown side effects.. so this is really only for the strong hearted at this point. Regular people should let the dust settle.
* This has been tested to work with most basic functions. However.. make sure you back up 'everything' before using this. It's that big!
* Essentially we're back at square 1 in the testing phase.. so lets identify things that broke.
* You'll need to start-up the MessageingServer and set it up. It sets up like any of the other grid servers.
* All user presence data is kept in memory for speed, while the agent is online. That means if you shutdown the messaging server or the messaging server crashes, it forgets who's online/offline.
* Occasionally the region-cache will get stale if regions move around a lot. if it gets stale, run clear-cache on the messaging server console to clear the region cache.
* The immediate upshot is that "show uptime" from the console will now show uptime on all server types (user, asset, grid, etc)
* DEV: This refactoring is far from complete - only just enough to makes the "show uptime" command common accross the servers. More is needed, but in this case it's somewhat like eating cabbage, which I prefer not to do all at once
