    web-based remote job submission: improve interface for getting output files · 3c51640b

    Problem: the old interface for getting output files (get_output.php)
    downloaded files with their physical name,
    which is a cryptic string with no extension.
    If the output file is, for example, a .zip, you don't see this.
    You also don't see the logical name of the file.
    
    Solution: give downloaded files better names.
    For example, if a result has a single output file
    with logical name 'output.zip',
    download it as resultname__output.zip
    Similar for multiple output files per result,
    for workunits, for single files from a result, and for batches.
    
    Fixes #5262
    
    This can be used as a web API, or directly from web pages (submit.php)
    This replaces the old interface,
    but I'm leaving it there in case anyone is using it.
    
    Add utility functions for
    - getting the full path of an output file
    - getting the logical names of a result's output files
