[Opensim-dev] Added fields to OpenSim tables

[Homer Horwitz]

That particular field was added by a patch done by me. I paid special
attention to backwards-compatibility (if you don't have that field or
it's LLUUID.Zero, the old way of computing home-location, via
region-handle instead of region-id, is used. So, if there are any
problems, I'd consider them a bug and would like to have some mantis +
logs, please.
