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

old: RR simulation marks some jobs as missing their deadline,
and the job scheduler runs those jobs as "high priority".
problem: those generally aren't the ones we should run.
E.g. if the client has a lot of jobs from a project,
typically the ones with later deadlines are the ones
whose deadlines are missed in the simulation.
But in this case the EDF policy says we should run
the ones with earliest deadlines.
new: if a project has N deadline misses,
run its N earliest-deadline jobs,
regardless of whether they missed their deadline in the sim.
Note: this is how it used to be (as designed by John McLeod).
I attempted to improve it, and got it wrong.

This now supports two main use cases:
1) there's a job that you want to run once on all hosts,
present and future
(or all hosts belonging to a user, or to a team).
The job is never transitioned, validated, or assimilated.
2) There's a normal job for which you want to use only
hosts belonging to a specific user (e.g. cluster or cloud hosts).
This restriction can be made either when the job is created,
or on the fly,
e.g. as part of a scheme for accelerating batch completion.
For the latter purposes we now provide a function
restrict_wu_to_user(DB_WORKUNIT&, int userid);
The job goes through the standard
transitioner/validator/assimilator path.
These cases are enabled by config flags
<enable_assignment_multi/>
<enable_assignment/>
respectively.
Assignment of type 2) are no longer stored in shared mem,
so there is no limit on their number.
There is no longer a rule that assigned job names must contain "asgn".
NOTE: this requires a database update.

we uncompress it and then verify it.
The latter involves computing its MD5, which reads the entire file.
Combine these 2 steps so that the MD5 is computed
as the file is uncompressed,
eliminating the need to read the file again.

send the size of the compressed file as well.
- client: parse and write the compressed size (FILE_INFO::gzipped_nbytes).
For get_transfer GUI RPCs, if it's a compressed download send
the compressed size.
That way the manager will show the fraction done correctly.

Image a case where BOINC Manager and the BOINC Manager event log
live side-by-side or only slightly overlapped, and the user wants
to use a full screen/maximized window. If the bring the BOINC
manager window back into focus while that app is still running
make sure the event log comes forward as well. The event log
should appear behind the main window in the case they are
overlapped.
