[Opensim-dev] Checks added for varregion overlap on region registration

[Justin Clark-Casey]

OpenSimulator does de-register regions on clean shutdown by default.  However, it is possible to stop this by setting 
[Grid Service] DeleteonUnregister = false on the service or by flagging the region as persistent (I don't know if this 
is possible currently except by setting RegionFlags.Persistent directly in the DB).
