Set the z (depth) coordinate of hovertext such that the hovertext gets occluded by stuff in front of it.
Merged this change with e67da2c6e312 (as I still cannot build viewer-development tip) and rebuilt. Verified that my nametag and an objects llSetText hovertext were correctly occluded by another object in front of them.

I am using it without noticing any functional issues.  Does this return floating text and nametags to a previous behavior I haven't seen for a long time?  I think it does.  It feels comfortable to me and really decluters the display.

    Yes, that's what it's supposed to do. See the linked SL jira issues and http://jira.phoenixviewer.com/browse/FIRE-543 (and duplicates there).
