(reported by Kevin Reed).
The problem: cache inconsistency.
If there are 2 results for the same WU in shared mem,
and 2 scheduler instances get them around the same time,
they can send them with different app versions.
We already fixed this problem for HR by
1) rereading the relevant WU fields while deciding
whether to send the result
2) doing a "careful update" of the WU field using a where clause
to make sure it wasn't modified in the (short) interval
since rereading it.
I fixed the HAV problem in the same way,
and merged the two mechanisms to combine the DB queries.
Also:
- The rereads are done in slow_check() (see below).
- The careful updates are done in update_wu_on_send(),
and this is called *before* doing careful updates on result fields.
That way, if the WU updates fail, we don't have orphaned results.
- already_sent_to_different_platform_careful() (sic)
no longer does DB stuff, so it's merged with
already_send_to_different_hr_class() (better name)
NOTE: slow_check() is used in array scheduling only.
Score-based scheduling uses other code,
in which this bug is not yet fixed.
Locality scheduling doesn't support HR or HAV at all.
This should be unified.

there is for each HR class, and writes it to a file.
This will be used soon for HR support in the feeder.
- split the HR code into hr.C,h (stuff used by both census and scheduler)
and sched_hr.C (stuff used only by the scheduler)
- database: change DB_CREDITED_JOB to treat workunitid
as a double (which it is) rather than a long.
BTW, long == int.
- fixed lots of compile warnings in the server code

e.g. distinguish between models of Intel and AMD
- Scheduler: add a quick HR check that doesn't access the DB
- Transitioner: if a workunit has >0 error results and no success results,
set its HR class to zero
