[opensource-dev] STORM-243 - simulator version notifications

[Trilo Byte]

+1 for making it a debug setting (to choose whether you see notifications).  

The server version info would still be available in Help -> About as well as World -> Place Profile -> Region/Estate

I don't mean "I can think of an obscure scenario when someone might care." I mean does anyone really need a notification about this, or can we just delete it?
