The following should apply to GPUs but not other coprocs (e.g. miner ASICs):
- "suspend GPUs" command in GUI
- prefs for suspending GPUs
- always removing app from memory when suspended
There was at least one case where we weren't cleaning up
subsidiary processes (e.g. VMs) when a task's main process exited.
Fix this by consolidating task cleanup (shared mem and subsidiary processes)
in ACTIVE_TASK::cleanup_task().
This gets called when a tasks' main process exits.
This addresses a problem w/ Bitcoin Utopia,
whose coprocessor app (run via the wrapper) doesn't expect a --device arg,
and fails if it gets one.
The --device mechanism has been superceded by APP_INIT_DATA.gpu_device_num.
GPU apps built with the current API and later should not expect a --device arg.
If a job reports its network usage (via boinc_network_usage()),
keep track of this across episodes of the job, and report it to the server
(some projects may want to give credit for network usage).
Also fixed a bug where, if a job was aborted while not running,
its final CPU and elapsed time weren't copied from ACTIVE_TASK to RESULT,
hence not sent to scheduler
I forgot that the wrapper has a 1-second poll for suspend and resume,
so sub-second throttling won't work properly for wrapper apps.
Revert to a variant of the old scheme,
in which the min of the suspended and resumed periods is 1 sec.
Also, fix task start/suspend/resume log messages.
Suspended tasks can be either left in memory (LIM) or removed
from memory (RFM).
CPU throttling always uses LIM.
Other types of suspension (e.g. user request) use LIM or RFM
depending on user prefs, except that RFM is always used for GPU tasks.
There was a bug: if tasks were suspended because of CPU throttling,
and then the user suspended activity,
GPU apps would remain LIM.
They need to be RFM.
On Windows, the working-set size reported by the OS for VM apps is too low.
Apparently the RAM usage is in fact roughly the VM size.
This can lead to running multiple VM apps,
which use more RAM than is available, causing performance problems.
Solution: use workunit.rsc_memory_bound as the working set size for VM apps.
(Note: for now, a VM app is one where the plan class includes "vbox").
- client: if an app's finish file has existed for 10 seconds, kill it;
it must be hung in boinc_finish().
This behavior has been seen with LHC@home and maybe other projects.
When a large file is copied from a project dir to a slot dir,
it's copied in chunks,
interleaved with other polling activities such as GUI RPCs.
That way the manager doesn't freeze while large copies
(e.g. VM images) are happening

connection information to the manager
- MGR: Add a "Show VM Console" button for those tasks which
report a remote desktop port number.

If set, don't run jobs for that app while network is suspended.
- client: parse this flag and maintain in state file;
do a job reschedule when network suspend state changes
- GUI RPC: add RESULT::network_wait flag;
if set, this job is waiting for network access to be allowed
- Manager: display the above in task info
- add support for "web graphics URL" (see above)
- client: parse message containing URL on graphics_reply channel
and store in ACTIVE_TASK::web_graphics_url
- GUI RPC: add RESULT::web_graphics_url
- Manager: if web graphics URL is present, Show Graphics opens a browser
- remove some vestigial code for pre-V6 graphics

(e.g. when editing it via the Manager).
Include only the GPUs that were specified in the original cc_config.xml,
not those detected by the client.
- client: fix bug that failed to require authorization for
GUI RPCs that are supposed to be authorized
- client: report parse errors in acct_mgr_url.xml and acct_mgr_login.xml
- fix compile warnings
- user web: in sample project_specific_prefs.inc,
get app names from the DB instead of listing them in the PHP code.

explicit rather than determined by position in a list.
- client: add a new "read-only" attribute for GUI RPCs.
This is in preparation for handling GUI RPCs in separate threads.
- client: remove code to support pre-V6 graphics.
