Title: improve ping behavior and clockskew in octree servers 

..by introducing datagram processing thread

Basically the clockSkew numbers fluctuate way too much because of blocking in the assignment-clients handling of incoming packets. By moving these to a separate thread, and by sending pings immediately we dramatically improve the accuracy of pings and clock skew calculations.

This improves joint simulation and editing update behavior.
