2020.5.28.1239 - New equip method, many bugfixes (laser, video, 100 % usage...)

New ability to equip tools/items by clicking on them, new dash icons by @Coffee | Programmer (for the old dash still), logging joined/left users.

Also some significant bugfixes for the laser. Particularly fixing the laser being very jittery in private UI on Oculus headsets (it's strange that this wasn't reported earlier, as it makes it very hard to use in private UI). Also bugfixes for video playback.

The OVRLipSync was downgraded to the correct version, which shouldn't be causing 100% CPU utilization anymore, so hopefully that's fixed too.

[h2]New Features:[/h2]
- Added ability to equip tools through the context menu by clicking on them (suggested by Runi#1730)
-- You can block this on particular tooltips using BlockRemoteEquip
-- You can also rename the name of the eqipped item from "Tool" by changing the EquipName property
- Replaced all dash menu icons and added appropriate coloring to help speed up navigation (implemented by @Coffee | Programmer)
- Neos will now log users that join and leave on everyone's end (requested by @H3BO3)

[h2]Tweaks:[/h2]
- Changed the 'enable/disable laser" icon (Based on feedback from @Hayden (PolyLogiX - ZyroDesign), @GearBell, and others that I don't remember. Implemented by @Coffee | Programmer)
- Downgraded OVRLipSync to 1.42 from 1.43, which should be the correct version before the high CPU usage bug (reported by @Shifty | Quality Control Lead)

[h2]Bugfixes:[/h2]
- Fixed invalid update order for synchronizing the userspace laser with world, causing the private UI laser to heavily jitter with Oculus headsets (reported by @Veer | Chief of Moderation)
- Fixed Grab Instancer not respecting the physical grab (reported by @Hayden (PolyLogiX - ZyroDesign))
- Fixed UMP (libVLC) videos turning black after first playback (reported by @Purple Juice, @H3BO3 and @Shifty | Quality Control Lead)
- Reworked mechanism for fetching video file/stream type so Unity Native playback can be used for MP4 videos streamed from Neos cloud (based on feedback from @H3BO3)
- Reworked texture updating mechanism to prevent video textures sometimes breaking or behaving oddly
- Fixed interaction laser turning red on grabbables that the user is forbidden to grab by the permission system (reproted by @Shifty | Quality Control Lead)
- Removed deprecated AutoOptimizeAvatar on CommonAvatarBuidler (based on report by @Enverex and @Shifty | Quality Control Lead)
- Fixed text rendering underline/strikethrough/mark effects not ending at the correct location in some cases, making the mark jump to the front or back of the line (reported by @Earthmark)
- Fixed lasers going through private UI even if it's in front of the world UI (and vice versa) with some avatars (reported by @Enverex, investigated by @A Monsoon of Babies and @Shifty | Quality Control Lead )
- Fixed defaultMute property being user-editable (reported by @LeDrascol)
- Some more small security improvements
