(usually in a static variable called "last_time")
of the last time we did something,
and we only do it again when now - last_time exceeds some interval.
Example: sending heartbeat messages to apps.
Problem: if the system clock is decreased by X,
we won't do any of these actions are time X,
making it appear that the client is frozen.
Solution: when we detect that the system clock has decreased,
set a global var "clock_change" for 1 iteration of the polling loop,
and disable these time checks if clock_change is set.
so that if you use <http_debug> and filter by project
you don't see other projects' HTTP stuff
- client simulator: cc_config.xml is part of the scenario;
log flags are part of the simulation

don't start the RPC directly;
that might fail if CLIENT_STATE::gui_http is busy.
Instead, set a timer field.
- client: structure ACCT_MGR_OP the same as other GUI_HTTP_OP variants
- client: clarify the comments on GUI_HTTP and GUI_HTTP_OP
Note: GUI_HTTP and GUI_HTTP_OP are misnomers; they refer to
any HTTP op other than scheduler requests and file transfers.
Should change the name, maybe to CLIENT_HTTP*

(contacting google.com and possibly alerting the user)
for "background" HTTP ops. These include:
- periodic account manager requests
- periodic notice RSS feed fetches
- periodic fetch of project list
- periodic fetch of current client version

this gets called when the op fails, either at initialization or later on;
it clears the project's sched_rpc_pending flag if needed.
This fixes a bug that caused user-requested RPCs to retry every 10 seconds
when the network is down.
- client: if debt-adjust period is too long, reset accounting.
Otherwise we'll get this infinitely.
- API: all optional alpha argument to TEXTURE_DESC::draw()
