a couple of locality scheduling fixes:
- remove obsolete and buggy code from transitioner (create_result() in backend_lib)
- account for 'mixed' scheduling in explain_to_user() in sched_send.cpp
- finish transition to configurable patterns for distinguishing files reported by the client
in the Einstein@home-specific part of send_work_locality in sched_locality
(removed previous hardcoded strcmps)

- client: scheduling problem:
- a project overestimates job FLOP counts
- the client starts jobs in EDF mode
- as job progresses and fraction done increases,
its completion time estimate decreases until
it's no longer a deadline miss.
- job gets preempted by other job from that project;
you end up with lots of partly completed jobs.
Solution (I hope): if an app version has running jobs,
compute a "temp DCF" for the app version,
which is the min of dynamic/static estimates for its jobs.
Apply this scaling factor to completion time estimates
for unstarted jobs in RR simulation
- client: the estimation of remaining time of running jobs was wrong
(how did this bug survive so long?)

- client: Eliminate x86_64 Mac client; i386 client determines if
system supports x86_64 applications and sets HOSTTYPE and
platform accordingly. This allows us to link with the 32-bit
CUDA libraries. The one other effect is that the benchmarks
are run in 32-bit mode even on a 64-bit capable Mac.
- client: Async get_state RPC was not updating state.have_ati field.
- MGR: Rebuild Advanced Menu and Taskbar Menu after connecting to
client, so GPU Activity and Snooze GPU items are displayed if
needed.

- API: if app can't acquire lock file, tell the client not
to restart app for 10 minutes.
Hopefully what will happen is:
- another instance of app is running in slot dir
(shouldn't happen, but sometimes does)
- that app will eventually finish, and will write
a checkpoint file saying so.
It will call boinc_finish(0), but the client won't notice
that it has exited.
- the next time the client starts the app,
it will acquire lock, see that it's done,
and call boinc_finish(0).
This time the client will notice,
and the job will be reported as correct.
The downside to all this is that the client won't know
that the CPU is in use, and will schedule NCPUS jobs.

- file_deleter:
- Limit the number of files to be deleted in one 'antique
deletion' pass to 50000 (can be changed with -delete_antiques_limit).

- MGR: The fix of 14 Oct 2009 for "initial first connection problem on
startup" caused the Tools menu to be incorrect when switching from
Simple to Advanced View if using an account manager: solve this by
calling pDoc->IsConnected() in CAdvancedFrame::CreateMenu() instead
of using bool argument bRPCsSafe. Remove unused bRPCsSafe arg from
CAdvancedFrame::CreateNotebook(), CAdvancedFrame::CreateStatusbar().

- server: client version numbers are represented as

rather than 100*major + minor.
Sometimes you need release-level resolution.
This affects:
- app_version.min_core_version
- config: min_core_client_version_announced
- config: min_core_client_version

if job A is unstarted and EDF,
and there's a job B that is later in the list,
is started, has the same app version,

move A after B.
- client: remove the "temp_dcf" mechanism,
which had the same goal but didn't work.

subtract a term that reflects pending work.
This should reduce repeated fetches from the same project.

- transitioner: fix bug where WUs with error_mask <> 0 keep
transitioning every 10 days, hence never become eligible for purging.
The problem: the transitioner has a "safety net" where,
if the WU doesn't have a canonical result,
it arranges for another transition in 10 days.
Skip this if error_mask<>0.

David 26 Jan 2010
- client/manager: eliminate duplicate notices.
When appending a new notice, we check whether one with
the same title and description is present already.
If so we remove one or the other, depending on the situation.
This introduces the possibility of "holes" in the seqno space.
In order that the manager learns of these deletions,
we use the following mechanism:
whenever a notice is removed (because it's a dup or too old)
a flag is set in each GUI_RPC_CONN.
On the next get_notice() RPC, the client returns the entire
list of notices, preceded by a dummy notice with seqno=-1;
this tells the RPC stub function to replace the current list
rather than appending to it.

Charlie 26 Jan 2010
- Mac Sandbox: The init_data.xml file in each slot directory also contains
an authenticator; to keep these private, change ownership of the "slots"
directory to boinc_master:boinc_project and eliminate read and execute
permissions of this directory for "other". For consistency, make the
same changes to the "projects" directory. The individual slot and
project directories are still world-executable and they and their
contents are still world-readable, so the Client can still read files
created by project apps with ownership boinc_project:boinc_project.
- NOTE: I believe this should not cause any problems for either BOINC or
project applications, but it needs to be tested thoroughly.

- scheduler: add example code for SETI@home's situation
where app has both GPU and CPU versions,
but for certain jobs (VLAR WUs in this case)
the GPU version performs poorly and shouldn't be used.
The fix is a kludge - it will result in these jobs
not being sent to the host at all,
rather than being sent with the CPU app.
The current architecture makes it difficult to do otherwise.
One possible fix would be to create a separate app
for VLAR jobs, with only CPU app versions.
