-Given a set of results (at least one of which is valid) compute the credit to be granted to all of them.
-Normally this function simply returns median_mean_credit(wu, results).
-If [WorkGeneration credit is specified in the workunit],
-call get_credit_from_wu(wu, results).
 
 You must link these functions with the files validator.cpp, validate_util.cpp, and validate_util2.cpp.

-Useful for 3 or more valid results.

-Computes basic stats for the claimed credits and if they are all close together it averages them.
-If some are close together but there are a couple of outliers, then it will average the results within the cluster and ignore the outliers.

-Useful for 2 valid results.

-It will average them if the claimed credits are close together.
-If they aren't, then it will compare each claimed credit against that computer's
-historical granted credit per CPU sec to see which one is claiming closer to their historical average.
-It will grant credit to both computers with the claimed credit that is closer to the historical value.
-This helps grant the most appropriate credit for situations where there is a computer
-that always claims too low or a computer that always claims too high.
