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

[Oren Hurvitz]

Regarding estate owner vs. manager: here's the existing implementation of
EstateSettings.IsEstateManager():

        public bool IsEstateManager(UUID avatarID)
        {
            if (IsEstateOwner(avatarID))
                return true;

            return l_EstateManagers.Contains(avatarID);
        }

It explicitly adds the estate owner to the list of managers. The permission
ESTATE_MANAGER should match the method IsEstateManager(). Therefore, it
should include the estate owner.
