* The main purpose of this is to provide configuration options for ODE and other physics plug-ins that are advanced enough to be able to be configured.
Note: This is the first part of some changes from Dr Scofield to support console-less operation of an OpenSim region server.
The changes are not yet complete.
* refactors OpenSimMain into two classes: OpenSimMain and
OpenSimMainConsole. OpenSimMainConsole derives from OpenSimMain
and basically is the "old" OpenSimMain
* drops StartConsole from RegionApplicationBase (was only called
from the "old" OpenSimMain anyhow)
* reverts the changes to TryGetScene(string, out scene) as that
seems to work perfectly fine
* adds a check to region-remove to see whether
m_sceneManger.CurrentScene is non-null before comparing it against
the region-to-be-removed
the attached patch set is centered around RemoteAdminPlugin and focuses
mainly on making it more robust (i.e. more parameter checking and better
error reporting) but also we've re-implemented the LoadTerrain stuff that
got disabled during the terrain code reworking:
* missing PostInitialize() calls on region modules that were loaded
for regions created via RemoteAdmin's CreateRegion XmlRpc call
* re-implements RemoteAdmin's LoadTerrain XmlRpc call (probably lost
during the TerrainModule rework)
* adds lots more parameter checking and error reporting to RemoteAdmin
* adds a read-only property to RegionApplicationBase so that we can
access the CommsManager
* adds Exceptions to TerrainModule so that we get better error case
feedback (and can report more meaningful errors in turn)
* adds a CheckForTerrainUpdate() call to
TerrainModule.LoadFromFile() to make terrain changes effective
* adds TryGetCurrentScene(LLUUID) to SceneManager so that we can
retrieve Scenes not only by name but also by LLUUID

Most likely doesn't really work in grid mode as the generated textures are marked as temporary and I don't think they are updated to the asset server. We have to either live with these textures being sent to the asset server, and manually clean them out from time to time or wait until there is some asset management system in place.
Also currently the texture is only generated at region startup, it is not updated after terraforming.
* Enabled new TerrainModule. (The king is dead, long live the king!)
* Use the console command: "script terrain save file.r32" / "script terrain load file.r32" to load/save terrain. Now uses the extension to determine file format.
* MANY of the old terrain features do not have a replacement function in the new module yet, this needs to be corrected, but has not been done so far. This being said, the new module is faster and more efficient and should be a good replacement.
* 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
To use, see the appearance section in opensim.ini.example, set "persist = true", then add the correct connection string for your database.(see mysql-AvatarAppearance.sql in share folder for a example of the table mysql table structure).
This could possible be used in a very small grid, but would mean each region server would need to connect to the same mysql database.
But the work to move the code to one of the grid servers shouldn't be too much.
Added option to try alternate UDP ports if the one configured is in use.
UDP packets are now bound to the actual outside IP address and hopefully won't "randomly" select IP on multihomed systems.
* This can be turned on by setting storage_prim_inventories_experimental = True in OpenSim.ini
* Implemented for sqlite and MySQL, no MSSQL implementation yet
* As an experimental feature, there is no guarantee that this won't take down your region or that the db representation won't need to change.
* More (and continuing) details at http://opensimulator.org/wiki/OpenSim:Prim_Inventory_Persistence
Deleted the CreateTerrainTextureInitial Method which was a 99% duplicate of CreateTerrainTexture, with just a bool field setting difference. That bool is now passed to CreateTerrainTexture as a param.
* Now moved region storage from region to application, so we have one storage per application, instead of one per region.
* Changed so that the region store providers use connectionstrings, not filenames
* Removed various unfit fields and properties (call me Darwin)
Note this has lead to a big flat project, but I think a lot of the files we most likely don't even use any longer. And others belong in other projects/namespaces anyway.
* Disabled by default, but has two functions so far -- shutdown (timed or now), and create-region.
* Added SendGeneralAlert function to SceneManager allowing all-user alerts to be sent from OpenSimMain.
