- client: when writing XML, entity-encode the following fields:

FILE_INFO::url
    HOST_INFO::p_vendor, p_model, p_features, os_name, os_version

    The following fields are already entity-encoded:
    PROJECT::user_name, team_name
    APP_INIT_DATA::user_name, team_name
    PROXY_INFO:: user names and passwds

    These are (as far as I know) the only fields that can
    contain special chars.
    This is now documented in:
    http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/XmlNotes
- client: XML_PARSER::parse_str() now does xml_unescape(),
    same as ::parse_str().
