- measure the available RAM of each GPU when BOINC starts up.
If this fails, set available = physical.
Show available RAM in startup messages.
- use available RAM rather than physical RAM in selecting
the "best" GPU instance
- report available RAM to the scheduler
TODO: change the scheduler to use available rather than physical
if it's reported

an app version will run on a particular host.
- scheduler: fix memory leak: BEST_APP_VERSIONs weren't being freed

see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/CreditNew
Projects will need to update DB and recompile all back-end programs.
Summary:
- new way of computing credit
- "reliable host" mechanism is per app version
- "host punishment" mechanism is per app version
- adjustment of wu.rsc_fpops_est provides the
equivalent of per app version DCF
- max jobs in progress is now per app
- max jobs per RPC is now per app
TODO:
- reliable mechanism:
- populate and use host_app_version.error_rate
- populate host_app_version.turnaround
- host punishment:
- populate host_app_version.max_jobs_per_day
- populate host_app_version.n_jobs_today
- use app.max_jobs_per_day_init
- job limits:
- use app.max_jobs_in_progress, max_gpu_jobs_in_progress
- use app.max_jobs_per_rpc
- adjust wu.rsc_fpops_est
- remove old credit stuff
fpops_cumulative, credit_multiplier
credit computation in scheduler
- AVERAGE class: use the Knuth algorithm (Wikipedia)

change various std::string to char[n], to improve performance.
NOTE: std::string should ONLY be used in cases where there is
no a priori limit on string length.
If there's a limit (e.g. because the string originates in
a fixed-size database field) always use char[n].

the BOINC stylesheet (main.css) was included.
This is no good if we're exporting the HTML.
Add an option to generate generic HTML.
- web: add options to the forum RSS feed:
1) threads_only: just show threads (i.e. 1st post in each thread)
2) truncate: truncate posts to 256 chars.
If this is not set, convert post from BBcode to generic HTML,
and put this (XML-encoded) in item.description
This is preparation for using the forum code for project news,
and for displaying forum RSS feeds in the manager.

use job name as tiebreaker if received times are the same.
This makes the order deterministic.
- web: show elapsed time and CPU time,
and show app version info, in result display

e.g. it handles <foo /> correctly,
and handles <foo attr="x">
(it doesn't return the attributes, but it doesn't choke on them).
- GUI RPC client lib:
use XML_PARSER to process authorization replies,
e.g. so that it handles <authorized />
TODO: use XML_PARSER to parse all GUI RPC requests and replies
- web: add a CSS entry for news item titles
- web (news items): add an optional "category" field to news items:
suggested values: "server status", "news", "emergency".
These are not used to display the items,
but are passed in the RSS feed and could be used by news aggregators.
- manager: replace "BOINC-based account managers" with "account managers"
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=16028
"HTML 4.01 Transitional" test.
The BOINC home page, project home page, and forum index now pass.
- web: .po files need to have CHARSET, LANG_NAME_NATIVE,
and LANG_NAME_INTERNATIONAL
