Review request for Viewer.


Summary
-------

This is a patch by ArminWeatherHax.  I am creating the request to help speed this fix along in the system.

----

Ways to reproduce: log into a simulator.
Reproduces: always
Affects: any version supported, probably all 3rd party viewers but Kokua (and Imprudence, soon).

What happens:
In each idle cycle the voice client requests the "ParcelVoiceInfoRequest" capability, thats each time a HTTP GET.
See LLVivoxVoiceClient::stateMachine() after comment // Check for parcel boundary crossing

Expected:
On parcel/region change request the capability once. It's not the region that rezzes in, but the avatar, so do the request for the capability not earlier than the agents region signals capabilitiesReceived() true. After that you are sure if the region returns an empty url you can give up for that region.

Not sure about the impact on lag - requesting and returning an url is not much data transmitted, though its a pretty big number of people doing it over and over per second (no matter if they have voice on or off).


----

going once again through llviewerregion I see its fortunately not each time a HTTP GET, just once when the agent connects to the region. Though the patch still saves all the lookup if the cap is there while it can't be possibly.


This addresses bug VWR-25923.
