[Opensim-dev] varregion terrain loading limited by view distance

[Mister Blue]

The terrain patches are sent for the view distance plus 50m. If there is
more land after that, that terrain won't be sent until you move. While it
will show jaggy edges at the view distance, it will make you 8kx8k
varregions much more usable.
