as the basis for estimating job completion times.
This should improve estimates for GPU apps,
and prevent the DCF from getting messed up.

Here's are the new semantics: a scheduler reply can include
<next_rpc_delay>
Make another RPC ASAP after this amount of time elapses.
This is specified by the <next_rpc_delay> element in config.xml.
<request_delay>
Don't make another RPC until this amount of time elapses.
This is sent automatically (and sometimes with large delays)
by various parts of the scheduler.
next_rpc_delay now "overrides" request_delay in the sense that
request_delay is ignored if it's greater than next_rpc_delay.
In addition: the client maintains a min_rpc_time which is set based
on request_delay and also by various exponential backoff schemes.
new_rpc_delay now overrides this as well, in the same sense.
