versions of the module don't support the old-ass version of perl
that FreeBSD still uses, so they had to fork the port.

invovling testbed ops. Split into two parts:

* password.php3 gives the user a form to specify their email address
  and their phone number. We look for a match in the DB, with the
  phone number stripped of all non-numeric characters and the email
  addresses lowercased. If we find a matching user in the database,
  generate a unique key and store that into the DB along with a
  timestamp that allows the key to be used for a short time period
  (currently 30 minutes). The key is split into two parts, with half
  stored in the users browser (secure mode), and the other half sent
  to the user in an email message that contains a URL that allows the
  user to reset their password.

* chpasswd.php3 does the rest of the operation. It takes half the key
  from the URL, and sucks the other half from the user's browser,
  combining the two halves and matching it against the key that is
  stored in the DB. If the key matches and the timeout has not
  expired, the user is given a form to specify a new password. From
  this point on its just a standard change password operation.

A couple of things:

1) Added PLAB_SLICEPREFIX so that we can separately instantiate plab slices
from mini, or elsewhere.  On the mainbed, its set to "emulab".  On mini, its
set to "emulab_mini".  The "emulab" part has to exist first so that the new
plab node manager doesn't nuke our dslice slivers.

2) Fixed up Plab.getFree() so that it doesn't try to add the same IP twice
to the DB if a new one is found, and listed more than once.

select the default user interface for a project. The choice is current
'emulab or 'plab', defaults to 'emulab'. New users that join emulab
get the default user interface from the first project they join.

Also generalize the plab_user bit as new "user_interface" slot of the
users table, which is an enum of interface tokens, currently either
'emulab' or 'plab', defaults to 'emulab'. The plab_user bit will be
removed later.

effect a single node, but are different from 'class' fds in that they
are stateful - ie. the socre you get depends on all other vnodes
currently mapped to the pnodes. These are identified by prefixing
them with a '?'. ('*' for global, mnemoic 'matches all'; '?' for
local, mnemonic 'matches one')

The currently implemented local fd is the additive one, or '?+'. We
add the desire weight for all vnodes on the pnode together, and if
this number is greater than the pnode's weight for the feature, a
violation is flagged.

The idea here is that we can give a pnode a feature like: ?+memory:256
and vnodes desires like ?+memory:16 or ?+memory:64 to pack vnodes
onto pnodes in a manner that appropriately reflects their resource
usage.

replace the current plab_user bit that Rob added, but I will remove
that later.

to the node_types_auxtypes and node_auxtypes tables. The goal is to
not have a gaggle of fake types in the node_types table, but rather to
store the virtual types that a node (type) can take on, in the two aux
tables (node_auxtypes holds the count). This removes part of the
special handling of virtual types from ptopgen, and cuts down the
number of bogus entries in the node_types table.

I also did some cleanup. Got rid of a bunch of separate hash tables
and combined into a single hash of "records" indexed by type. This
script could use quite a bit more such cleanup.
