[BUG-232085] [Feature Request] - SIM_STAT_CHILD_AGENT_COUNT constant for llGetSimStats().

[sl-service-account]

Information

This feature request is for the llGetSimStats() constant SIM_STAT_CHILD_AGENT_COUNT.

With access to this data point, any application that runs constant scripted visual prim updates intended to be seen such as breedables, or wandering pets/livestock, stage/dance hall lighting, cycling textures on adboards or applications the use HTTP to attempt to deter region idle status can significantly cut down on this resource usage as long as they see neither main nor child agents.

We currently have a few means of getting main agent count, but no way to get child agent count.

llGetSimStats() is the chosen function instead of a stand-alone function as there have been other metrics of interest discussed recently that can be added to it as well.
