  Add graceful recovery from ACP attach problems (missing ACP, wrong version, COM-nterop binding problems), forcing the scheduler to run in simulation mode. Added a new command line switch that allows simulation only operation, and in that mode does not require a license.

Also add a switch to allow Scheduler simulation to be used without ACP and without a license.

So many stability improvements for version mismatches, this will also allow entry of a license to allow updating if ACP is updated with an old license in Scheduler.

It will run stand alone once it is in simulator mode. The trick is to have it punt if it can't attach the ACP sequencer instead of croaking. Then it would be able to start up, force itself into Simulation, and allow someone to enter their license on an old Scheduler!
