[Opensim-users] region flags status

[Justin Clark-Casey]

The setting to use should be Persistent.  I believe one way to do this is by registering a region, setting Persistent 
and then taking it offline

All regions have the RegionOnline flag when they are online.  However, whereas a region entry normally disappears 
altogether on deregistration, a Persistent region remains but has its RegionOnline flag unset.

However, the simulator would not check the RegionOnline flag and would attempt to contact neighbours regardless, causing 
all the failure messages.  These shouldn't cause any issues but they are confusing and show unnecessary work.

So in git master beef41f I made the simulator respect the RegionOnline flag in these cases which should stop the errors. 
  Both simulator and service will need to be updated to this commit for this to work (if only one is updated then 
everything will work as before where contacts are attempted regardless).

Please let me know if you can get this working and I will write up a wiki page.
