added mouse dragging script for testing, move networkdestroy and takeownership to static methods in the manager so not everybody needs references to the player, added a custom inspector to NetworkObject for showing owner and a button for automatically finding and assigning networkcomponents, better interpolation for synctransform based on serialization rate, synctransform can send local transforms, find new scene objects on scene load
