Removed my changes of 19 Jan 2010, which didn't work.
Added new mechanism: keep track of whether a job J has ever run in EDF.
If so, and if another job of the same project and resource type as J
is marked as deadline miss, then mark J as deadline miss,
so that it won't get preempted.
- web: change "result" to "task" in server status page
- admin web: show server stable SVN revision, not trunk
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=20805
- scheduler: when calculate scheduler runtime,
don't include the part reading request msg from client.
That can be misleadingly long
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=20781
or an auth_ops() function (not necessarily both).
New projects are given an .htaccess file with no .htpasswd,
so they must either create a .htpasswd file
or define auth_ops() in order to use admin web pages.

to restart app for 10 minutes.
Hopefully what will happen is:
- another instance of app is running in slot dir
(shouldn't happen, but sometimes does)
- that app will eventually finish, and will write
a checkpoint file saying so.
It will call boinc_finish(0), but the client won't notice
that it has exited.
- the next time the client starts the app,
it will acquire lock, see that it's done,
and call boinc_finish(0).
This time the client will notice,
and the job will be reported as correct.
The downside to all this is that the client won't know
that the CPU is in use, and will schedule NCPUS jobs.
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=20128
- a project overestimates job FLOP counts
- the client starts jobs in EDF mode
- as job progresses and fraction done increases,
its completion time estimate decreases until
it's no longer a deadline miss.
- job gets preempted by other job from that project;
you end up with lots of partly completed jobs.
Solution (I hope): if an app version has running jobs,
compute a "temp DCF" for the app version,
which is the min of dynamic/static estimates for its jobs.
Apply this scaling factor to completion time estimates
for unstarted jobs in RR simulation
- client: the estimation of remaining time of running jobs was wrong
(how did this bug survive so long?)
