Standard validators

BOINC includes several "standard" validators:
Marks a job as valid if its output files are present. Use this if all hosts are trusted.
Marks a job as valid if its stderr output includes a string specified by the --stderr_string command-line arg. If the --reject_if_present arg is present, the logic is inverted: a job is valid if its stderr does NOT include the string.
Output files are equivalent if they agree byte for byte. This can be used if your application generates exactly matching results (either because it does no floating-point arithmetic, or because you use homogeneous redundancy). If output files are gzip archives, use the --is_gzip command-line arg. This will skip the gzip header when comparing files.
