[Opensim-dev] Remove check for IsGod in some OSSL functions

[Melanie]

First, HARD -1 on allowing gods all of OSSL. I run a grid where
certain functions just CANNOT be allowed to run, no way, no how.
There must be a way to achieve that, you can't force the
availability of OSSL for gods on grids.

Also, HARD -1 on changing existing functions, it will break things
in too many ways for established users.

The check for estate managers already allows estate owners.

OpenSim/Region/ScriptEngine/Shared/Api/Implementation/OSSL_Api.cs:377

//Only Estate Managers may use the function
if(m_FunctionPerms[function].AllowedOwnerClasses.Contains("ESTATE_MANAGER"))
{
    //Only Estate Managers may use the function
    if (World.RegionInfo.EstateSettings.IsEstateManager(ownerID) &&
World.RegionInfo.EstateSettings.EstateOwner != ownerID)
    {
        return;
    }
}

A god check _could_ be added in the parcel owner, parcel group,
estate manager and estate owner clauses as it can be assumed that if
anyone is allowed to run the function gods should be allowed to run
it, too. However, if a function is indeed disabled it must be
disabled for gods as well.
