say what resources we're requesting (if there's more than CPU)

because of roundoff error

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).

- client (Unix): if client crashes while benchmark processes are going,
make sure they detect this and exit.
- back-end programs: remove hardwired assumptions about
what directory they run in, and hence where config.xml is.
E.g., daemons look for it in "..", others expect it in current dir.
New approach: all the programs look for the project dir as follows:
1) the environment var BOINC_PROJECT_DIR, if defined
2) the current dir, if config.xml is there.
3) else ".."
This means you can run programs in either proj/bin/ or proj/,
or (using BOINC_PROJECT_DIR) you can keep executables
outside of the project dir.

New approach: take the "ordered_schedule_results" list,
add running jobs that haven't finished their time slice,
and order the result appropriately.
Then run jobs in order until CPUs are filled.
Simpler and clearer than the old way.

don't use the variable name "sgi";
include <xxx.h> instead of <cxxx>; the latter just adds
overloaded functions that we avoid.

old: find fastest GPU, and pretend that others are the same.
Problem: other GPUs might be less capable,
and not able to handle jobs sent by server.
new: find the most "capable" GPU, use others that are equivalent,
don't use those that are not.
"Capable" is defined by
- compute capability (i.e., hardware version)
- driver version
- memory size
- FLOPs
in that priority order.

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

- first schedule jobs projected to miss deadline in EDF order
- then schedule remaining jobs in FIFO order
This is intended to reduce the number of preemptions of coproc jobs,
and hence (since they are always preempted by quit)
to reduce the wasted time due to checkpoint gaps.
- client: the CPU scheduling policy made use of the number
of deadline misses in various places.
This should include only the deadline misses of CPU jobs.
So move "deadlines_missed" from RR_SIM_STATUS and PROJECT
to RSC_PROJECT_WORK_FETCH so that we have separate counts
for CPU and coproc jobs, and use the count for CPU jobs.
- GUI RPC: removed the rr_sim_deadlines_missed field
from project descriptor.
This is no longer meaningful, and it didn't seem to be used anywhere.

keep track of the largest WSS of tasks using it.
In checking whether tasks fit in RAM,
use this as an estimate for tasks that haven't started yet.
This avoids a situation where the client starts a lot of
tasks in sequence, only to find that each one doesn't fit in RAM.

disk bound 100MB => 1GB

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.
