- move client sandbox-specific code to a new file, sandbox.C
- remove g_use_sandbox from util.C; move to MainDocument.cpp (manager)
and sandbox.C (client)
- don't declare check_security() in util.h; it's not in util.C
- don't call remove_project_owned_file_or_dir() in
boinc_delete_file_aux() or boinc_rmdir();
rather, at the points in the client that delete
dirs that are usually owned by boinc_projects,
call remove_project_owned_file_or_dir() first,
then clean_out_dir().
- rename boinc_exec() to switcher_exec() and move it to sandbox.C
Note: this change was sparked by needing to remove a call to getgrnam()
from boinclib, to avoid requiring the same version of glibc
on both compile and target hosts

(deciding which app to use, implementing blanking interval, etc.)
This logic is all now in the screensaver itself.
- GUI RPC: removed get/set screensaver mode RPCs
- API: added a "backwards_compatible_graphics" flag to BOINC_OPTIONS.
V6 apps should set this.
If set, the runtime library checks for graphics messages
from the client, and launches/kills the graphics app (if any).
The app will then work graphically with pre-V6 clients.
- removed some old files

that lets you suspend computation after a specified period of idleness.
This is necessary to allow some machines to go into low-power mode
when they're not being used.
- Change the wording of some existing prefs; for example, changed
"Do work while computer is in use?" to
"Suspend work while computer is in use".
The former is confusing - if you say yes, BOINC may in fact
NOT do work while the computer is in use,
due to other factors (time of day, etc.)
TODO: HOST_INFO::users_idle() should be changed so that it
returns the idle time
(rather than telling you whether we've been idle for X)
