2012-12-20	This patch enables use of multiple passes from the library api	Nick Nussbaum
	it also adds a small test to the cs_test/Program.cs The point of this code is to allow --passes <n> to work from the library. It requires enabling the cache. Status As of now, prediction results seem off but it seems to do the right number of operations. This patch allows --passes <n> to work from the library VW initialization with a cache file specification changed parsed_atomic_example to have an optional do_read that defaults to true. If false it will not read the example (which the library loaded) but will cache it and also do ngram processing which was missing. parsed_atomic_example is now called from VW:read_example, and various VW:import_example functions before the setup_example. on VWdll.cpp VW_Finish if the pass count is > 1 some values are adjusted and then the start_parser, driver end parser loop is called to read the remaining passes from the cache. the main_parse_loop was changed to set examples to the parsed_examples_count which will be nonzero if the library did anything and zero in the normal .exe call. It also skips the all_passes_complet == all->numpasses for the library call. I'm not sure what this does, but it seems to double the number of pass reads. I'm using stdin_off as a proxy for "called by library" heree. If this can't be avoided perhaps stdin_off should be named "invoked by library". By calling the parser loop after the reads, the multi pass from cache is done, but possible other pre-read sequencing is missed for other functionality. A more general fix would be to make a mock reader which is really a co-routine for the library functions that are invoked between init and finish. This would allow stuff like merge caches before prediction and other stuff to work. The prediction file values do appear off. I'm trying to figure out if this is user error or something that happens from the library calling, or if I'm missing some processing. Also this hasn't been tested with unix. I'm a little uncertain if the fiddling to get it to do the passes has all the multi-thread initialization done right.
