Clamping Long Term Debts to a week is an extraordinarily BAD idea, as has
been discussed before.

Run CPDN on some machines and CPDN will run SOLO for months.  If LTD is
clamped at a week, then CPDN will then get another chance to run in a weeks
time and then run SOLO again for several months.  Long Term Debt is
PRECISELY that, LONG TERM.  One week is NOT long term.

Log:
- client/scheduler: standardize the FLOPS estimate between NVIDIA and ATI.
    Make them both peak FLOPS,
    according to the formula supplied by the manufacturer.

    The impact on the client is minor:
    - the startup message describing the GPU
    - the weight of the resource type in computing long-term debt

    On the server, I changed the example app_plan() function
    to assume that app FLOPS is 20% of peak FLOPS
    (that's about what it is for s...@home)
