"approved" designation is confusing. Changed to reflect group
membership trust!=none instead of user status=active since thats what
people really want to know.

project members (but approved in other projects) to see things they
are not supposed to.

supporting autocreating and autoloading images. The imageid form now
sports a field to specify a nodeid to create the image from; If set,
the backend create_image script is invoked. Thats the easy part.
Slightly harder is autoloading images based on the osid specified in
the NS file. To support this, I have added a new DB table called
osidtoimageid, which holds the mapping from osid/pctype to imageid.
When users create images, they must specify what node types that image
is good for. Obviously, the mappings have to be unique or it would be
impossible to figure it out! Anyway, once that image mapping is
in place and the image created, the user can specify that ID in the NS
file. I've changed os_setup to to look for IDs that are not loaded,
and to try and find one in the osidtoimageid. If found, it invokes
os_load. To keep things running in parallel as much as possible,
os_setup issues all the loads/reboots (could be more than a single set
of loads is multiple IDs are in the NS file) at once, and waits for
all the children to exit. I've hacked up os_load a bit to try and be
more robust in the face of PXE failures, which still happen and are
rather troublsesome. Need an event system!

Contained in this revision are unrelated changed to make the OS and
Image IDs per-project unique instead of globally unique, since thats a
pain for the users. This turns out to be very messy, since underneath
we do not want to pass around pid/ID in all the various places its
used. Rather, I create a globally unique name and extened the OS and
Image tables to include pid/name/ID. The user selects pid/name, and I
create the globally unique ID. For the most part this is invisible
throughout the system, except where we interface with the user, say in
the web pages; the user should see his chosen name where possible, and
the should invoke scripts (os_load, create_image, etc) using his/her
name not the internal ID. Also, in the front end the NS file should
use the user name not the ID. All in all, this accounted for a number
of annoying changes and some special cases that are unavoidable.

public bit. Moved the delete button to the project listing page since
it was wasting space and its rarely if ever used.

Allow admin types to terminate any experiment.
Add trust/approval status in user list in project page.

Update login timeout with each useful operation (done in checklogin).
Put default user name in the login box when visiting the page.

Clean up all the formerror code, calling standard FORMERROR() function.
Get rid of all the inline DB specific constants, moving them to dbdefs.php3

move the project information listing from approveproject, and make it
useable from there and from the showproject stuff, but making it a simple
include file.
