- It was possible if all results for a workunit were PFC_MODE_INVALID
that NaN pfc would be used causing database update errors. Solved
by using wu_estimated_pfc() as pfc in that case.
- Sanity check was comparing raw_pfc directly to rsc_fpops_bound. That
was causing problems GPUs with high performance estimates. Fixed by
including the app_version scale factor in the check. I thought I had
already committed this...
- Removed a few lines of commented out experimental code accidentally
comitted earlier.
- Committed to git repository on 8/24

In LLS array pass, skip file-on-host check if host
doesn't have any sticky files.
TODO: it should actually be "any sticky files for this app".
But we currently don't have any way to know that.

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.

We were using a static BEST_APP_VERSION in
check_homogeneous_app_version(),
and it wasn't being initialized on each call
(e.g. its HOST_USAGE was not being cleared).

(but not all) wasn't finished.
New logic: if the project has an NCI app then:
- make a list of NCI apps for which the client doesn't have
a job in progress.
- try to send one job for each of these apps
- do this even if no work is being requested.
- don't send jobs for NCI apps by other mechanisms
NOTE: the client logic isn't quite right for mixed NCI projects.
If there's no job for a given NCI app,
the client should do a scheduler RPC.
This isn't critical so we won't do this now.

and non-CPU-intensive applications.
An app can be specified as non-CPU-intensive in project.xml,
and this attribute can be set or cleared using the admin web interface.
Note: support for this was added to the client in 2011,
but we didn't add server-side support at that time.
This change is in 6.12 and later clients.

- add a config item vda_host_timeout.
A host that hasn't done a scheduler RPC for this long
is considered dead.
- a host that's not running a version 7+ client is considered dead
- host.cpu_efficiency (an otherwise unused field) is used
as a flag for dead hosts
- the scheduler clears the flag if the client is v7+
- vdad sets the flag for hosts where last RPC is old
- before choosing a host for chunk download,
vdad checks its client version.

- Allow projects to report "desired disk usage" (DDU).
If the client learns that a project wants disk space,
it can shrink the allocation to other projects.
- Base share computation on DDU rather than disk usage.
- Introduce the notion of "disk resource share".
This is defined (somewhat arbitrarily) as resource share
plus 1/10 of the largest resource share.
This is intended to ensure that even zero-share projects
get enough disk space to store app versions and data files;
otherwise they wouldn't be able to compute.
- server: use host.d_boinc_max (which wasn't being used)
to start d_project_share reported by client.
- volunteer storage: change the way hosts are allocated to chunks.
Allow hosts to store several chunks of the same file, if needed

Do first read from socket before opening the disk file

It's not clear to me that this locking is beneficial,
and it may be causing filesystem problems at WCG

- When a normal and an approx result are compared the normal result now gets
double weight in a pegged_avg() with any approx results. "Normal mode" GPU
results are frequently resulting in bad credit values for yet undetermined
reasons. Since GPUs are so fast, there can be a lot of bad values in a
short time. Including the prior average and another result even seems to
prevent this in many case.
- Replaced many of the if { msg_log.printf } with msg_log.cond_printf()
- Accidentally changed some of the formatting when trying a new editor that
apparently autoformats. Sorry for the extra diff lines.
- There's a problem with pfc calculation for hosts whose credit calculation
fails the sanity check. This has been a problem for a long time. Because the
result fails the sanity check, the host_app_version pfc is never updated.
Because hav.pfc is never updated, the credit calculation continues to be
wrong. To quote Quinn, it's like one of those viscious things. I hope to
fix that soon.

"cpu" in XML, and other code was looking for "CPU".
To fix this and prevent similar problems,
processor type names are now encapsulated in proc_type_name_xml().
Code should use this rather than having hard-wired names.
Redefine: GPU_TYPE_* as macros that call proc_type_name_xml().

proximity to the average estimate. This reduces the number of results that
are granted extremely low credit when a new app_version is released and (I
hope) improves work/duration estimates by speeding up the convergence of app
versions stats. I may try using this in lieu of low_average for normal
result, but haven't yet.

and change types of mem-size fields from int to double.
These fields are size_t in NVIDIA's version of this;
however, cuDeviceGetAttribute() returns them as int,
so I don't see where this makes any difference.
- client: fix bug in handling of <no_rsc_apps> element.
- scheduler: message tweaks.
Note: [foo] means that the message is enabled by <debug_foo>.

- Fix various #include issues.
CODING STYLE LAW (minimal inclusion principle):
If foo.cpp requires <blah.h>,
#include <blah.h> in foo.cpp, NOT foo.h

- validator: add some sanity-checking for credit,
to prevent granting 1e38 credit.
max_granted_credit now defaults to the equivalent of 1 TeraFLOP-year.
Instances that exceed this are not counted in the credit
calculation, and a critical-mode log message is written
- wrapper: remove wall_cpu_time; not used anymore
