[OSSTEST PATCH] host reuse fixes: Properly clear out old static tasks from history

[Ian Jackson]

The algorithm for clearing out old lifecycle entries was wrong: it
would delete all entries for non-live tasks.

In practice this would properly remove all the old entries for
non-static tasks, since ownd tasks typically don't releease things
until the task ends (and it becomes non-live).  And it wouldn't remove
more than it should do unless some now-not-live task had an allocation
overlapping with us, which is not supposed to be possible if we are
doing a host wipe.  But it would not remove static tasks ever, since
they are always live.

Change to a completely different algorithm:

 * Check that only us (ie, $ttaskid) has (any shares of) this host
   allocated.  There's a function resource_check_allocated_core which
   already does this and since we're conceptually part of Executive
   it is proper for us to call it.  This is just a sanity check.

 * Delete all lifecycle entries predating the first entry made by
   us.  (We could just delete all entries other than ours, but in
   theory maybe some future code could result in a siutation where
   someone else could have had another share briefly at some point.)

This removes old junk from the "Tasks that could have affected" in
reports.
