David Anderson c5c5975b44 - Improve interface of XML_PARSER.
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.)

David Anderson 27e05a3da9 - server: some stuff to prepare for distributed storage
- don't create result records for uploads and downloads.
        Just create a msg_to_client record.
    - the scheduler handles file-transfer results specially;
        it makes a vector of them, then calls a project-supplied function
        handle_file_xfer_results()
    - change the interface and implementation of put_file and get_file
- client write project sched priority in GUI RPC replies,
    but not to the state file

David Anderson b169e5ab0f - server programs: print error message instead of numeric retval
in log messages

David Anderson b2451544e1 - server: change the following from per-host to per-(host, app version):
- daily quota mechanism
    - reliable mechanism (accelerated retries)
    - "trusted" mechanism (adaptive replication)
- scheduler: enforce host scale probation only for apps with
    host_scale_check set.
- validator: do scale probation on invalid results
    (need this in addition to error and timeout cases)
- feeder: update app version scales every 10 min, not 10 sec
- back-end apps: support --foo as well as -foo for options

Notes:
- If you have, say, cuda, cuda23 and cuda_fermi plan classes,
    a host will have separate quotas for each one.
    That means it could error out on 100 jobs for cuda_fermi,
    and when its quota goes to zero,
    error out on 100 jobs for cuda23, etc.
    This is intentional; there may be cases where one version
    works but not the others.
- host.error_rate and host.max_results_day are deprecated

TODO:
    - the values in the app table for limits on jobs in progress etc.
        should override rather than config.xml.

Implementation notes:
scheduler:
    process_request():
        read all host_app_versions for host at start;
        Compute "reliable" and "trusted" for each one.
        write modified records at end
    get_app_version():
        add "reliable_only" arg; if set, use only reliable versions
        skip over-quota versions
    Multi-pass scheduling: if have at least one reliable version,
        do a pass for jobs that need reliable,
        and use only reliable versions.
        Then clear best_app_versions cache.
    Score-based scheduling: for need-reliable jobs,
        it will pick the fastest version,
        then give a score bonus if that version happens to be reliable.
    When get back a successful result from client:
        increase daily quota
    When get back an error result from client:
        impose scale probation
        decrease daily quota if not aborted
Validator:
    when handling a WU, create a vector of HOST_APP_VERSION
        parallel to vector of RESULT.
        Pass it to assign_credit_set().
        Make copies of originals so we can update only modified ones
    update HOST_APP_VERSION error rates
Transitioner:
    decrease quota on timeout

David Anderson 12eb6057e5 - client, Mac: don't do res_init(). It causes a crash.
- client (Unix): if client crashes while benchmark processes are going,
    make sure they detect this and exit.
- back-end programs: remove hardwired assumptions about
    what directory they run in, and hence where config.xml is.
    E.g., daemons look for it in "..", others expect it in current dir.
    New approach: all the programs look for the project dir as follows:
    1) the environment var BOINC_PROJECT_DIR, if defined
    2) the current dir, if config.xml is there.
    3) else ".."
    This means you can run programs in either proj/bin/ or proj/,
    or (using BOINC_PROJECT_DIR) you can keep executables
    outside of the project dir.
