* the host has GPUs from two different vendors with different OpenCL platforms (e.g., NVIDIA and AMD), and
* the second platform queried has more GPUs than the first one, and
* the requested GPU is a higher numbed one in the second platform.
Old: heartbeat mechanism
Problem: if the client is blocked for > 30 secs
(e.g. because it takes a long time to write the state file,
of because it's stopped in a debugger)
then apps exit.
This is bad is the app doesn't checkpoint and has been
running for a long time.
New: the client passes its PID to the app.
The app periodically (10 sec) checks that the process still exists.
Notes:
- For backward compatibility (e.g. new API w/ old client,
or vice versa) the client still sends heartbeats,
and the API checks heartbeats if the client doesn't pass a PID.
- The new mechanism works only if the client's PID isn't assigned
to a new process within 10 secs of the client exiting.
Windows 2000 reuses PIDs immediately, so check for Win2K
and don't use this mechanism if so.
TODO: For Unix multithread apps,
critical sections aren't currently being enforced.
Need to fix this by masking signals.

We were failing to mark the cache entries as free.
- API: initialize GPU device # to -1;
If client doesn't give us a device number, something is wrong
and it's better to not start computing.

Tells multicore apps how many cores to use.
The --nthreads command line arg to the app is now deprecated
though we'll keep it around for the time being.

says whether the client is using account-based sandboxing.
Needed by vboxwrapper.
- web: don't show authenticator in Your Account page.
The problem with authenticators is that if a bad guys gets yours,
they can log in to your account even if you change your password.
Eventually we should not use them at all
(i.e. in cookies and sent to client).
- make_project: copy python stuff (e.g. bin/start) for web-only projects;
generate appropriate project.readme file for web-only projects.

Add parsed_tag and is_tag to the class,
so that parsing functions don't need to declare them
and pass them around.
- Complete the task of using XML_PARSER as the argument
to all parsing functions.
(Internally, many of these functions still use the old XML parser;
that's the next step.)

- scheduler: add max_download_urls_per_file config option
(to limit the length of workunit.xml_doc,
which is currently capped at 64KB).

and team names are represented.
In particular, edit_user_info_action.php was using
htmlentities() on names; this led to double-encoding.
The new rules:
1) no HTML tags allowed in either one.
This is enforced silently, using strip_tags()
2) names are stored in the DB exactly as entered.
They may contain chars like & and >.
They may contain non-ASCII characters
(use UTF-8 if you want them displayed correctly).
None of these are not escaped.
3) When the names are put in XML
(e.g. in scheduler reply or db_dump output)
they are XML-escaped.
This escapes <, &, and non-ASCII chars
4) The client leaves them in this form,
and writes them that way in GUI RPCs
and init_data.xml files.
5) The parsing of GUI RPC replies and init_data.xml files
XML-unescapes them.

These cause problems when "read" is a member name, etc.
Do these #defines, conditioned on _MSC_VER,
in the files that actually need them.

even if it doesn't use a coprocessor.
- scheduler: added an "nci" (non CPU intensive) plan class
to sched_plan.cpp. It declares the use of 1% of a CPU.
The above two changes are intended to allow the QCN app to
run at above_idle priority, which it needs in order to do 500Hz polling.
- API: the std::string version of boinc_resolve_filename()
acts the same as the char[] version.
