[sldev] Calculating accurate avatar positions

[Dahlia Trimble]

I thought each terse update packet includes the sim time dilation at the
time the update was generated. Could this be used to scale the velocity to
slow the motion down? (if it's not already). May not help for network lag
but should help for heavily loaded sims.
