Lets make it easier to manage pre reservations (Mike, this was Rob's

idea).

New script and table to manage node pre reservations. Lets just look
at the script.

To create a reservation:

    myboss> wap prereserve -t pc850 testbed 2
    Node reservation request for 2 nodes has been created.

To see the reservation status for testbed

    myboss> wap prereserve -i testbed
    Project         Cnt (Cur)  Creator    When               Pri Types
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    testbed         1 (1)      stoller    2011-08-12 12:39:07 0   pc850

    which says 1 node is pending and 1 node has already been
    pre-reserved. 

To clear the above reservation request (and optionally, clean
reserved_pid from the nodes table).

    myboss> wap prereserve -c -r testbed

    The -r is optional, otherwise just the reservation request is
    cleared, and nodes continue to be pre-reserved to the project.

To see a list of all reservation requests:

    myboss> wap prereserve -l


So, when a node is released in nfree, we look at the reservation
status for the node and any pending reservation requests.

1. If the node has a reserved_pid and that request is still pending
   (still in the table), nothing is changed.

2. If the node has a reserved_pid, but the request has been cleared
   from the pending table, then clear reserved_pid.

3. If reserved_pid is null, and there are pending requests, then pick
   the highest priority, most recent dated, request, and set
   reserved_pid to that project.

Options:

* -n <pri> - is how you set a priority. Lowest is zero, choose a
  higher number if you want this reservation request to be considered
  before others. In a tie, look at the date of creation, and use the
  oldest.

* -t <typelist> - a comma separated list of types you want to
  consider. Types are considered in order, but not in the fancy way
  you might imagine.
