General Description: Fix for freeezemonitor's inability to release license when there are multiple
features without usage

features with usage even if there are unused features.

immediately after the suspend button is pressed.
This also fixes the issue where a workstation hangs when freezemon tries to suspend an application
with opened tabs.


This patch also contains fix from the older patches:
Support for  backup lmremove command  - if the first lmremove command fails, the backup lmremove
will be executed

Support for require-same-licenses entry- if the number of available licenses isn't the same as the
number of removed licenses,  a suspended application can still be resumed if the
require-same-licenses entry is set to "no".

Improved log messages for disabler and freezemonitor

Support for Active Directory groups	 - freezemon will consider the user groups before suspending an
application

Fixed the delay when opening excel and word files when there is a suspended app.

This patch contains the following bug fixes:

* License Optimizer does not check if there is a license checkout and freezes an application though
there is none. To fix this issue,  "used-licenses" rule has been added , this will check if the user
of a feature
on a host has the actual number of license usage that is specified in the rule.

* Freezemonitor failed to optimize applications because it cannot handle the new lmstat output. This
patch adds support for the new output format of flex (vendor name included on usage line).

* Freezemon rule license-use gets the utilization wrong. The "license-use" rule previously had a bug
that caused the percentage of use to be summed for all features, and the sum was used in the
calculations. It has been updated so that the use will now be
calculated for each feature individually.

*lmremove issue
Configuration is added for cold.conf: rm-retry-interval=<period> and rm-max-retry=<number>. It is to
better control how frequently and how many times lmremove is to be run when disabling, if the first
attempt fails.

General Description:  Support for new lmstat output of flex and support for wildcard feature version
in feature line of cold.conf.

Detailed Description:  Freezemonitor failed to support the new lmstat output of flex. This patch
adds support for the said output format(no version in usage line) of flex and also adds
functionality to support wildcards in feature version at Freezemonitor cold.conf file.
