Problem: the new signup/download process (auto-attach) wasn't telling
Mac and Linux users to install VirtualBox for projects that require it.
(These platforms don't have a combined BOINC/VBox installer;
the user has to install VBox separately).
Solution: add links to the VirtualBox download page in appropriate places.
Also: we currently have a <need_vbox/> config option
for projects that require VBox (i.e. all their apps are VM)
Add a <recommend_vbox/> option for projects with some but not all VM apps.
Also: rename download.php to download_software.php.
There was a name conflict with a file from the boinc-site repo.
This caused problems on the BOINC web site, which uses both code bases.
Projects with a link to download.php on their home page
should change this to download_software.php.
