Domain server ports should be controllable by command line parameters

DomainHandler.h is how domain server ports' configurations are handled.

Avatar can only be operated with English keyboard. Switching to other languages leads to the loss of control over the movement of the avatar.

Some things that are relevant: - `Controllr.Hardware.Keyboard`: https://apidocs.vircadia.dev/Controller.html#.Hardware-Keyboard - keyboardMouse.json: https://github.com/vircadia/vircadia/blob/master/interface/resources/controllers/keyboardMouse.json

Metadata and Stats Exporter Ports should default to base port + num instead of manually hardcoded.

Ensure that the client reconnects to specific mixers when connection is lost and reacquired.

Check Web SDK example app, too.

Entities: Add LOD and Load Priority properties to entities.

Angular Velocity can't go below 0.4 something (round to 0.5)

I have a potential way forward for addressing #76 which can probably also be applied to angular velocity, if it works. Just have to find some time to try it...

Entity edit packets.

Should also handle receiving entity add, edit, and erase packets. Also, there's an EntityClone packet.
