The SETI@home result table is about to run out of 32-bit IDs,
so we need to move to 64-bit result IDs.
This will happen to the workunit table at some point too.
I changed the server C++ code to use the "long" type for all DB IDs
(and to use appropriate conversion codes like %lu).
"long" is 64 bit on 64-bit machines.
For uniformity I did this for all tables,
even ones (like app) that will never get big.
I chose NOT to change the DB schema for now.
The new code will work with 32-bit ID fields in the DB.
As projects approach the 32-bit limit on a table they can change
its ID field, and fields that reference this table, to BIGINT.
This is likely to happen only on the result and workunit tables.
I put functions in html/ops/db_update.php
to change the IDs of these tables.
This assigns credit proportional to runtime*p_fpops.
To prevent cheating, p_fpops is capped at the 95th percentile value
among active hosts,
and runtime is capped at a specified limit.
This option supports apps, like LHC's CERNvm app,
that run for a certain amount of time and then exit.
The CreditNew system doesn't work for such apps.
- trickle_credit:
To prevent cheating,
cap p_fpops at the 95th percentile value among active hosts,
and require a limit on runtime.
- require that trickle handlers supply an initialization function

reporting incremental runtime exery x seconds of runtime.
- client: more XML parsing cleanup
- credit trickle handler: do sanity checks on CPU speed
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=24017
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.)

adjust project REC by the amount of work queued, to increase variety
NOTE: at some point I think I had a reason to not do this,
but I can't remember what it is.
- client, job scheduling policy: fix how project REC is adjusted

trickle_echo: echoes trickle-up as a trickle-down
