Cleanup of parameters that define disk free space requirements.
Previously these were spread around in different places. Now
these are defined by some config.xml options that are used by
PHP pages and by the scheduler code. See a description in
doc/configuration.php.

<min_core_client_version_announced> N </min_core_client_version_announced>
<min_core_client_upgrade_deadline> M </min_core_client_upgrade_deadline>
This is used to warn users in advance if a new minimum core client is going
to be required. Users have until time 'M' (Unix epoch time(2) format)
to upgrade. Not yet tested.

config.xml. Use the boolean tag <cache_md5_info> to enable it.
This prevents the work generation library from having to go back and
continuously regenerate the md5 sums of your input data files. Note
that reading these from disk can be expensive if you have many such files
that are large and that you re-use. See check-in notes from 30/31 Dec 2004
for some details.

no work was sent to hosts, and available space<0 OR if available space>0
but work was unfeasible because the disk bound requirements of the work
exceeded the available space.
Added a new config.xml boolean element called 'choose_download_url_by_timezone'
This requires that projects provide a 2-column file in the project root named
'download_servers'. An example is:
3600 http://einstein.aei.mpg.de
-21600 http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu
The first column is offset from UTC in seconds, and the second column is the URL
of the download server. When enabled, the scheduler will replace the download
path for data and executables by a list of download URLs, ordered by proximity
to the host's timezone. The download path must start with the
BOINC default download/ and the different download servers must have identical
file paths under download/, in other words they must be mirrored.
