[sldev] Uncouple Avatar movement from Sim

[nik at terminaldischarge.net]

I cant tell you hows it done (I don't know, never tried) But heres a few
issues from what I understand.

If you uncouple your avatars movement from the sim, you will only recieve
object updates for where your avatar is positioned according to the sim
and due to your draw distance settings. So if you managed to walk across a
sim your likely to not anything on one side as updates won't be sent for
the objects further away from your literal location.

I beleive you get the same issue when you move your camera a long distance
away from your avatar (and especially if you move it into a conjoining
sim)

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
