so that we can look for memory leaks.

#MB and #days are nonzero.

client is requesting

rather than TerminateProcessById().
The latter doesn't work in protected mode.
- client: pid_handle => process_handle. misnomer

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.

always remove it from memory, even if it hasn't checkpointed.
Otherwise we'll typically run another GPU job right away,
and it will bomb out or revert to CPU mode because it
can't allocate video RAM

when they're preempting another GPU job.
The problem was as follows:
- job A is chosen to preempt job B
- we tell job B to quit, and initialize job A but don't start it;
however, we set if scheduler state to SCHEDULED
(rather than UNINITIALIZED)
- job B exits, and we start job A.
Since its state is not UNITIALIZED, we don't set up its slot dir.
- job A runs in an empty slot dir, doesn't find its files, and bombs out.
- client: add <slot_debug> option (prints messages about
allocation of slots, creating/removing files in slot dirs).
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=18217
Instead, write the info into a file in the slot directory,
and check for these files on startup.
This should reduce the overhead of state-file writing
on machines with lots of cores.
There will still be a flurry of writes each time a job finishes,
but reducing that overhead would be a larger job.
- client: make sure we write the state file after a failed RPC
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=17814
clear the project's backoff for its resource type.
This fixes a problem where a project has a "max jobs in progress"
limit, and we're backed off because of that.
We'll now fetch work immediately instead of waiting 24 hrs.

and a 2nd GPU job with an earlier deadline arrives,
neither job is executed ever.
Reorganized things so that scheduling of GPU jobs is
done independently of CPU jobs.
The policy for GPU jobs:
- always EDF
- jobs are always removed from memory, regardless of checkpoint
(GPU memory is not paged, so it's bad to leave an idle app in memory)
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=17402
- client: abort runaway jobs based on elapsed time instead of CPU time.
Specifically, abort jobs for which
elapsed time > WU.rsc_fpops_bound / app_version.flops
This policy works for
1) GPU jobs (which may use little CPU time)
2) jobs that run but because of bugs use little CPU time
(e.g., because they're sleeping)
whereas the old policy didn't.
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=17399
even if it doesn't use a coprocessor.
- scheduler: added an "nci" (non CPU intensive) plan class
to sched_plan.cpp. It declares the use of 1% of a CPU.
The above two changes are intended to allow the QCN app to
run at above_idle priority, which it needs in order to do 500Hz polling.
- API: the std::string version of boinc_resolve_filename()
acts the same as the char[] version.

if missing, use checkpoint CPU time.
- client: enforce CPU schedule: if we're running a coproc job,
keep CPU utilization strictly less than NCPUS.

in your cc_config.xml, BOINC will suspend computing
whenever foo.exe is running (e.g., a game).
Eventually we might want to put the interface in preferences
instead of cc_config.xml
