types for which we have no app versions
- client: if too many <coproc> elements in cc_config.xml,
detect it and inform user
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=24144
add a mechanism so that apps can report sub-processes
that are not descendants (e.g., virtual machines)
These processes are then counted as part of the app,
not as "non-BOINC CPU time".
This fixes a bug where processing was incorrectly suspended
because CPU usage by VM apps exceeded the "CPU usage limit" pref.
Implementation:
- the PIDs of the processes in question
are passed from app to client via shared-memory,
in the app_status channel.
A new variant of boinc_report_app_status() supports this.
- the VBox wrapper queries the PID of the VM,
and reports it in this way.
- procinfo_app() includes a new argument: a list of PIDs
that are part of the app, although not ancestrally
related to the main process.
- in the client, ACTIVE_TASK now includes a vector "other_pids".
If this is nonempty, it's passed to procinfo_app().

Current: wrapper reports frequent checkpointing to client,
but actually checkpoints only when the VM is stopped
Problem: large amounts of work would be wasted if
BOINC stops in an ungraceful way (e.g., power failure)
Solution:
Don't report frequent checkpointing.
Every CPU scheduling period (typically once/hour)
stop the VM (creating a checkpoint)
and call boinc_temporary_exit(0).
If the client wants to keep running this job,
it will start us immediately.

- change names of CPU and network-limiting functions
to express their units (always do this).
- wrapper monitors status.suspend_network
and suspends/resumes network accordingly
- wrapper sets CPU and network bandwidth limits on startup
(Rom: should this be done before run() rather than after?)
Note: App versions using this wrapper should always have
<dont_throttle/> in their version.xml,
to tell the client that the app throttles itself.

- client: more XML parsing cleanup

Additionally, the VM can be throttled by parsing in the wrapper the <max_vm_cpu_pct> specific project preference.

i.e. those that create subprocesses.
Previously, the client's job control options (suspend/resume/quit)
would not work for subprocesses.
Multiprocess apps must initialize with something like:
BOINC_OPTIONS options;
boinc_options_defaults(options);
options.multi_process = true;
boinc_init_options(&options);
Note: an application can be both multi-thread and multi-process.
In this case set options.multi_thread as well.
- wrapper: add support for multi-process apps.
Previously, suspend/resume operations did not work for subprocesses.
If a task is multi-process, you must include
<multi_process>1</multi_process>
in its descriptor.

Not necessary.
- wrapper: add optional <append_cmdline_args/> element to

If set, pass the wrapper's cmdline args to that task.
NOTE: previously they were always passed.
If you want this behavior, you now must set this.

Old: scheduling has 2 phases:
1) computing a list of jobs to run (a vector of RESULT*);
this is done infrequently
2) enforcing the schedule; this is done more frequently
Problem:
when we enforce the schedule,
the RESULTs in the jobs-to-run list may not still be runnable,
and in fact they may not still exist (dangling pointer).
New: combine the 2 phases

- Update to libtool 1.5.24
- build environment: Major automake changes that I've been warning about
for some time.
- Now uses libtool to build libraries.
- Builds separate boinc_fcgi and sched_fcgi libraries for use with
FCGI server components.
- New macro "BOINC_CHECK_LIB_WITH" that executes a "AC_CHECK_LIB" on
a library only if --with-libname[=DIR] is specified on the configure
command line. This is to allow inclusion of libraries when the
ssl, gtk, wxWidgets, or other configuration is incorrect for static
libraries.
- Added a lot of "--with-*" for some libraries that might be required for
static builds.
- The sea directory has been moved to packages/generic. Changes to sea
and the associated scripts might be required to better make use of the
staging mechanism and shared libraries.
- Fixed includes of boinc_fcgi.h in many files.
- Fixed places where FCGI_FILE needs to be used implicitly.
- Fixed missing define of _SC_PAGESIZE on hosts that define only
_SC_PAGE_SIZE.
- Moved build of boinc_cmd (and source file) from lib to client
