[BUG-231807] Allow llSetAgentEnvironment() to persist on region crossings for the same estate and experience.

[sl-service-account]

How would you like the feature to work?

Currently, I am trying to create a unified dynamic windlight environment using historic real world data across a 10 region estate using llSetAgentEnvironment().

The current behavior of when an avatar teleports or crosses a region border in the same estate, is for the viewer to discard scripted changes and set the new windlight settings of the parcel or region to the viewer in 5 seconds. For a single region this would be fine, but for a multi-region estate this causes issues.

The issue appears when an avatar crosses a region border into a neighboring region, and the sky races to change to the default non-scripted adjustments.

The work-around to my issue is to have the object that detects and sets llSetAgentEnvironment() work on a very fast timer. Even then, the viewers attempt to race back to the default region is still quite noticeable. The work around also creates a bug for users who login to the region: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-231806

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

Having a unified scripted EEP environment that doesn't change for the same estate upon region crossing would be nice. As such it's script intensive to counter it, and a bit jarring to cross a region border.

I assume this would also apply to llReplaceAgentEnvironment() as well?
