- VBOX: Add some suggestions to the source on how to debug VM related issues.
- VBOX: Add a quick sanity check when the enable_shared_directory option is
enabled.

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().

- 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.

- vbox wrapper: on startup, rename image file to "vm_image_SLOT.vdi",
where SLOT is the slot number.
Vbox requires unique names for VM image files.

copy operation.

VM has been running since the last state change, we'll use that
instead.
- vboxwrapper: provide basic stub functions for starting/stopping/
suspending/resuming a VM. Leave wrapper functionality in
vboxwrapper, and VM specific functionality in vbox_*. Ideally
only the stub functions would have to change for other VM
implementations.

wrapper just dumps the existing VMs defined on the machine.
