[BUG-233897] Add a way to find out if a script-owner has estate manager privileges

[sl-service-account]

How would you like the feature to work?

Add a constant AGENT_ESTATE_MANAGER to llGetAgentInfo that is TRUE if the agent whose ID gets passed to the function has estate manager privileges for the region the script runs in.

Alternatively, add an object flag OBJECT_ESTATE_MANAGER to llGetObjectDetails.

Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?

The function llManageEstateAccess fails if the owner of the object the script is running in does not have estate manager privileges. The failed call gets shouted on the debug channel.

If you want to script a graceful degradation from estate-level to parcel-level, you can either accept the shout on the debug channel, and switch to parcel-level access controls, or you can ask the user wether they have estate manager privileges and trust that they answer correctly.

Having a way to find out if the owner of the object the script is in has the necessary privileges would allow for more elegant and less confusing scripts.
