- adds the possibility of setting the socket receive buffer size

  option for LLUDPServer. On windows .NET the default socket receive
  buffer size is 8192 bytes, on recent linux systems it's about
  111K. both value can be a bit small for an OpenSim instance serving
  many clients. The socket receive buffer size can be configured via
  an OpenSim.ini config option

- adds a general catch clause to LLUDPServer.OnReceivedData() to
  prevent it submerging when an unexpected Exception occurs.
