A "remote input file" is located on a data server other than the project server.
Previously these could be specified only in the input template,
which was of limited utility.
Add new ways of specifying remote input files:
1) in the create_work program, a remote input file can be specified
with command-line args
--remote_file name URL nbytes MD5
or by the same syntax in stdin when creating multiple jobs
2) add a variant of create_work() called create_work2(),
which takes a vector of INFILE_DESC structures that can specify
either local or remote files
The job submission RPC handler (PHP) originally ran the
create_work program once per job.
This took about 1.5 minutes to create 1000 jobs.
Recently I changed this so that create_work only is run once;
it does one SQL insert per job.
Disappointingly, this was only slightly faster: 1 min per 1000 jobs.
This commit changes create_work to create multiple jobs per SQL insert
(as many as will fit in a 1 MB query, which is the default limit).
This speeds things up by a factor of 100: 1000 jobs in 0.5 sec.
to account for systematic errors in FLOP count
- adjust_user_priority: get total project RAC by summing RAC
of app versions where RAC has been updated in past week
- feeder: add --priority_asc option
(for when wu.priority is a logical time)
for canceling jobs
- added program cancel_jobs for canceling jobs
- DB interface: it's not an error if update_fields_noid()
affects != 1 rows

- don't create result records for uploads and downloads.
Just create a msg_to_client record.
- the scheduler handles file-transfer results specially;
it makes a vector of them, then calls a project-supplied function
handle_file_xfer_results()
- change the interface and implementation of put_file and get_file
- client write project sched priority in GUI RPC replies,
but not to the state file

- scheduler: fix bug in adaptive replication:
if send an unreplicated job to untrusted host,
set both wu.target_nresults and wu.min_quorum to app.target_nresults.

mostly so that the parse function could assume
that everything was initially zero.
However, various back-end functions pass around SCHED_CONFIG&
as an argument (also named "config").
This creates a shadow, which is always bad.
Worse is the possibility that some projects have back-end programs
that have a SCHED_CONFIG variable that's automatic,
and therefore isn't zero initially,
and therefore isn't parsing correctly.
To fix this, I changed the 2 vectors in SCHED_CONFIG into pointers,
and have the parse routine zero the structure.
I was tempted to remove the SCHED_CONFIG& args to back-end functions,
but this would have broken some projects' code.
I did, however, change the name from config to config_loc
to avoid shadowing.
Also fixed various other compiler warnings.

Lets you assign a WU to a particular host,
to one or all hosts belonging to a user or team, or to all hosts.
See http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/AssignedWork
Disabled unless you include <enable_assignment> in config.xml
Uses a new DB table.
Tested but only a little.
- Server: code cleanup; moved result-handling to a new file,
and removed the PLATFORM_LIST arg to everything
(put it in SCHEDULER_REQUEST instead)
