Test4Theory@home: Removing the restriction on running work units

After experimenting with a number of options, a solution has been found to provide a default limit on the number running work units per host for new volunteers which can be disabled by those who are more experienced.

Once implemented, a new setting will be available in the project preferences where the Max # jobs can be set. In order to provide this, three steps are required.

• Update the project to support the option
• Updated everyone's project preferences to set this value to 2 tasks Remove current the project limit
