PresenceManager should retrieve both position and orientation from server

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently the PresenceManager exposes functionality to retrieve the location of 
a user based on their avatar's cellid. It would be advantageous to also 
retrieve their orientation (rotation) via the same mechanism.

Proposal: refactor CellLocationRequestMessage and CellLocationResponseMessage 
to CellTransformRequestMessage and CellTransformResponseMessage and include the 
Quaternion of the user's world rotation in the response message.

Updated patch to send entire transform. If you are trying to get location and 
rotation, you should use:

CellTransform transform = PresenceManager.getCellTransform(cellID);
Vector3f location = transform.getTranslation(null);
Quaternion rotation = transform.getRotation(null);

This avoids multiple round trips to the server. If you are happy with this 
version, I will commit it.
