[Opensim-dev] Changes in inventory interface and Simian backend

[Mister Blue]

Simian has only one Inventory fetch operation and that's GetInventoryNode
which returns all the members of the requested node (all the children).
Most of operations get this response but then pick the one entry they want
out of it.

It will take a little testing, but the Simian connector can be easily
adapted to the new multiple inventory entry fetch.
