[Opensim-dev] Duplicate entries for Hypergrid users in GridUser table

[Diva Canto]

No, this has nothing to do with multiple presences of the same user.

 From the GridUserService perspective, I think the idea was for it to be 
possible to have hg users with the same UUID as a local user. That 
situation is prevented by the Gatekeeper. However, entries in GridUser 
don't come solely from actual visits; they can come from other sources 
(friends, etc., I think), not necessarily users trying to visit.

If we decided that we don't ever want to know about foreign users with 
the same UUID as a local user, which seems reasonable, then GridUser is 
unnecessarily complicated.  So I'm ok with simplifying it. I've had bug 
grief because of that design decision.
