[sldev] Extending the Mute List

[Able Whitman]

My notes on how the viewer implements muting are available on the wiki:
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Muting_Objects_and_Agents
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Mute_List

This is my first wiki entry, so if I've committed some horrible wikisins,
please let me know so I can avoid them in the future :)
