    change semantics of the vcl 'auto' state and centralize vcl mgt · 424c7b85
    Nils Goroll authored
    Conceptually, the auto state was a variant of the warm state which
    would automatically cool the vcl. Yet, cooling did not only transition
    the temperature, but also the state, so 'auto' only worked one way -
    except that vcl.use or moving a label (by labeling another vcl) would
    also set 'auto', so a manual warm/cold setting would get lost.
    
    Now the auto-state will remain no matter the actual temperature or
    labeling, so when a vcl needs to implicitly change temperature (due to
    being used or being labeled), an auto vcl will remain auto, and a
    cold/warm vcl will change state, but never become 'auto' implicitly.
    
    The vcl state/temperature test v00003.vtc, besides testing the new
    auto semantics, now also checks for the right vcl.list output and has
    been reduced by a duplicate check (warm event check has been
    integrated into an existing warm event).
    
    On other code changes:
    
    * mgt_vcl_setstate
    
      is now only concerned with the state, the temperature will be
      changed implicitly if so required. The state will either end up
      changed or restored, depending on success.

    * mgt_vcl_settemp
    
      responsible for the right action to change the temperature. For auto,
      it will only change the temperature, for non-auto, also the state.
    
      owner of changes to the (struct vclprog).warm member
    
    * mgt_vcl_tellchild
    
      Inform the child about a change and/or temperature change
    
    * mgt_vcl_set_cooldown
    
      Update the cooldown (go_cold) appropriately, should be called after
      a change/temperature change.
