As per the suggestion on the mailing list, added support for a OpenSim.xml config file, instead of a ini file. INI files still work the same as they did before, just now if a ini file isn't found, it looks for a OpenSim.xml file (of course in xml format) and if found uses that.

Includes a OpenSim.Example.xml for reference (the default settings saved as a xml file).
