make the 600-second active-lock timeout configurable; document it better; and reconcile code behaviour with what the documentation says it does re behaviour when a stale lock occurs on a task supposedly active on a remote system (doco wins)

patch from Anton Berezin <tobez.at.tobez.org>: return reference of sorted files list internally, and use built-in sort instead of a { $a cmp $b } callback. Both are good for speed of ordered dequeuing

add dq-indexd, an optional, experimental central server to maintain DQ indexes, instead of using readdir() filesystem APIs; fix race condition in wait_for_queued_job() that can result in missing jobs enqueued inside the same 1-second window; add code to test scripts to ensure that queue directories are empty at end-of-test, which is how this bug was caught

remove 'lastenq' flag file; turns out it's entirely unnecessary to maintain a separate file for the purpose, when the 'queue' directory itself works just as well, and will be in the buffer cache already

fixed a long-running bug; left-over control files in 'active'. Turns out these were a side effect of qproc A completing a task before qproc B even started creating a lockfile; in that case, qproc B would get a lock on the now-complete task, then find that the queue control file was nonexistent and give up, attempting to remove the 'active' file, but instead unlinking the now-already-unlinked temporary filename, and leaving the real 'active' file behind. Totally harmless, fixed anyway.
