reduce backoff intervals somewhat
- vboxwrapper: fix buffer size typo (from Attila)
- scheduler: fix crash if using homogeneous app version,
and a WU is committed to an old or deprecated app version.

1) individual file transfers
2) project-level file transfer backoff
3) scheduler operations
Old: scale by e.
Use random backoff in the range min..x
New: scale by 2.
Use random backoff in the rand x/2..x
- client: for file transfers, use backoff range of 10 min .. 12 hrs
rather than 1 min .. 4 hrs

favor those that are partially done
- client: fix crashing bug if a project is detached
while an RSS feed fetch for it is in progress
- code cleanup: switch from /// back to // for comments
(so much for doxygen)

give preference to multi-threaded jobs.
Avoid running N-1 1-thread jobs and 1 N-thread job on N CPUs
- client: change file transfer giveup time from 14 to 90 days

- scheduler: fix bug in adaptive replication:
if send an unreplicated job to untrusted host,
set both wu.target_nresults and wu.min_quorum to app.target_nresults.

and clear all timeout variables.
This should fix the situation where, say:
1) the user sets the system clock forward by a year;
2) all projects get their min_rpc_time set;
3) the user sets the system clock back to the correct time.
Previously, BOINC would not do anything for a year.
Note: a restart of BOINC is required to fix things.
It would be harder to do this on the fly.

The main goal is to fix a bug where,
if a file is deleted from a project's download server,
a client will keep trying to download it for 2 weeks.
A download "file not found" is a permanent error, not transient.
(fixes#383)
In general, revised and renamed things to clarify the
distinction between permanent and transient errors.
Old functions:
handle_xfer_failure(), try_next_url(), xfer_failed(), retry_or_backoff()
New functions:
permanent_failure(), transient_failure()
- manager: compile fix for win (don't include sys/wait.h)
