launch the VirtualBox server-side application. This should complete the
needed work to run VirtualBox within the Windows sandboxed environment.
- WINSETUP: Remove the virtualized file system tag from the Windows Explorer
copied security token when launching BOINC Manager and BOINC Tray after
setup has completed. I believe this will resolve the new cookie issue
experienced by PTP/GR/CE.

If found, set HOST_INFO::p_vm_extensions_disabled,
and pass this to the scheduler.
- scheduler (VBox app plan function) if a host has p_vm_extensions_disabled
set, don't sent it multicore VBox jobs.
Note: if you have a host with VM extensions, and they're disabled
in the BIOS, and you enable them, you can remove the
<p_vm_extensions_disabled> line from client_state.xml
and you'll be eligible to get multicore VM jobs again.

the VM extensions for the CPU have been disabled via the BIOS. This
allows the core-client to parse the response and disable future
request for multi-core VM jobs.

and disable the use of them at VM creation time. Certain actions
within VirtualBox will force enabling them at runtime and cause
an error (like SMP support) but it should reduce confusion between
volunteers and projects when a VM configuration change now causes
a class of machine that used to work suddenly stop working.
- VBOX: Add some more helpful text notes for error conditions that
the volunteer might be able to address. For instance other
hypervisors locking the VM CPU features for exclusive use.
- VBOX: If we have to dump out the VM execution log on Windows, remove
excess carriage returns from the spew.

manually turn off the hardware acceleration support in the VMs

multi-core jobs to hosts that do not have hardware acceleration.

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

allow applications to supply a "web graphics URL",
in which case the manager's "Show Graphics" button
opens a browser at that URL.
This typically would used for applications that
implement a web server that serves pages showing
job information in HTML.

acceleration but it is disabled in the computers BIOS. Asking the volunteer
to tweak settings in the computers BIOS isn't a good idea. We might be able
to turn it on as an advanced preference thing in the future.

treat premature events as failures. Avoids false positive results.
- VBOX: Log the VM Execution log if a premature shutdown event has happened.
- VBOX: Rename config option max_elapsed_time to job_duration. Choosing
max_elapsed_time turned out to be a bad choice in that its purpose
became intermixed with the credit issue(s).

Apparently when the VM is removed from the VirtualBox server process
it automatically deletes the floppy image from the media registry.
- VBOX: If a VM crashes for one reason or another, append the VM execution
log file to the stderr.txt file. I believe this is what is going on with
Richard Mitnick's computer. At the very least we should be able to give
this to the VirtualBox guys.
- VBOX: Introduce a way to re-execute commands when a session lock
event is detected. A session lock event happens when a volunteer is
tweaking something about the VM while vboxwrapper is attempting to query
state information.
