Stopping a primenet work fetch loop

* Trial factoring *

With primetools mfloop.py it is possible to stop the loop:
1. first stop the script;
2. compute all assignments until the program terminates with the error "no assignments found";
3. invoke the script with arguments ... -n 0 -t 0 to report the last results.


* PRP *
With gpuowl primenet.py the procedure is a bit different: we have to report the last result by hand via the web page.


So I propose a little change to primenet.py :
- Add a command line argument that say how many assignments we want to fetch (with possibility to set to 0 to only report results).

In GPUowl primenet.py, added the optional --tasks which allows to specify the number of fetch-ahead tasks. If not specified, this is 2 for PRP and 12 for P-1.

Thanks Mihai.
