[sldev] Patch to Address Debit Permission Spoofing

[Chance Unknown]

You missed the earlier discussion. Why do you need to inspect a prim
that you own? To find out who the joker was that sent you the prim
thats robbing you? You shouldn't accept inventory items from a
grey-goo cloud in the first place -- let alone rez them.

Thats part of the game legacy that all NOOBS get at one point. Then
after that we all laugh that someone else got hit with it too.
