TES3MP VR 0.8.1

The first ever playable release of TES3MP VR, the result of combining TES3MP and OpenMW VR. Given that TES3MP 0.8.x is based on OpenMW 0.47, the last OpenMW VR codebase that was also based on OpenMW 0.47 was used as the foundation for the merger.

The VR client build provided here also contains TES3MP VR commits up to the 6th of May as hotfixes.

Please note: The server and the non-VR client are found in the regular 0.8.1 release at https://github.com/TES3MP/TES3MP/releases/tag/tes3mp-0.8.1
