reset a number of "wait until X" variables;
otherwise we might wait years to contact a project, restart a file xfer, etc.
Notes:
- there is no problem setting clocks forward; things just happen prematurely
- some variables (e.g. task deadlines) are not reset,
because it's not clear what to set them to

and an upload started in the last 5 min, don't fetch work from it.
The goal is to merge the 2 scheduler RPCs
(fetch work, report completed taskS) into a single RPC.
Note: this may result in idleness in some cases.
- scheduler: if client doesn't handle plan class (pre-5.10),
check plan-class app versions anyway,
but only use if it's a single-CPU app.
This allows single-CPU app versions with specific requirements
(like SSE) to be issued to old clients.

of the performance of an app version on a host.
It will then stop using that app version,
so the estimate never has a chance to converge to its correct value.
Fix: multiply by a random factor (mean 1, stddev .1)
when comparing the FLOPS estimates of app versions.

- If the scheduler doesn't have any app versions for resource type X,
it includes an element <no_X_apps>1</no_X_apps> in the reply msg
(e.g., <no_cpu_apps>1</no_cpu_apps>)
- The client parses and stores these flags,
and doesn't ask a project for work for a resource
if the project doesn't have app versions for it.
Apparently I started this change in [19375] (October 2009)
and forgot to finish it.

If set, the feeder doesn't read jobs into shmem,

Intended for use when a project wants to process
a backlog of completed jobs and not issue more.
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=22601
My change of 1 Oct ([22440]) required that such jobs
be processed with 64-bit apps,
on the assumption that 32-bit apps have a 2 GB user address space limit.
However, it turns out this limit applies only to Windows
(kernel and user mode share the 4GB address space; each gets half).
On Linux, the split is 3GB user / 1 GB kernel.
On Mac OS X, user mode and kernel mode have separate address spaces,
each of them 4 GB.

If # of ready-to-report tasks > max_tasks_reported,
then the excess ready-to-report tasks weren't getting
reported to the scheduler at all (i.e. not in <other_results> either)
so the scheduler would resend them
(not a fatal problem, but a waste of bandwidth).
From Josef Segur.
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=22500
Such jobs fail on 32-bit machines, even if they have sufficient RAM,
because 32-bit OSs don't support address spaces > 2GB.
In general, we want to support the following scenario:
- an app has a mixture of small (< 2GB) and big (> 2GB) jobs.
- there are app versions for both 32b and 64b platforms
- one of the 32b versions is faster than the 64b version
(say, it's a 32b GPU app)
Goals:
If the client is 32b, send it only small jobs,
using the fast 32b version if possible
If the client is 64b and has sufficient RAM,
send it large jobs using the 64b version;
send it small jobs using the fast 32b version if possible,
else the 64b version
Solution: extend get_app_version() so that it detects big jobs,
and uses only 64b versions for them.
Add a "for_64b_jobs" field to BEST_APP_VERSION
so that we maintain a separate memoized set of
BEST_APP_VERSIONs for big jobs.

1) old-style apps with graphics in main program.
No one should be using these anymore.
2) writing init_data.xml in boinc_finish().
This was used by deprecated "compound app" scheme
- scheduler: if request reports results that were previously reported,
that's evidence that the previous reply was not received by client.
It may have contained results.
So set a "resend lost results" flag.

svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=22082
where the client tells the scheduler which app versions
its queued jobs use
(this is needed, e.g., to enforce per-app or per-resource job limits).
In this mechanism, the client sends an array of <app_version>s,
and each <other_result> includes an index into this array.
- The wrong index was being sent (client).
- If an <app_version> had a non-existent app name
(e.g. because that app had been deprecated)
it wasn't getting put in the array, invalidating array indices
Furthermore, an erroneous message was being sent to the user
Fix: if parse error for <app_version>,
put it in the array anyway, but with cav.app = NULL,
meaning that it's a place-holder.
Send a message to user only if anon platform.
- manager: increase notice buffers to 64K
