Some more work will be required if there is ever a need for more than
one port. But this should work for now. This should successfully
handle running multiple instances of the same job, port information is

execution of the wrapper.

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.
