Replace "php" cli calls with "wget" on linux

To remove the dependency for a commandline version of PHP, it should be possible to use the wget command to execute a script via the webserver. This keeps everything neater and reduces the dependencies.

Tested from the command line on a Ubuntu installation:
'wget -O /dev/null http:///media_search.php'

Thw swisscenter log shows that the media refresh worked without any problems (note the URL needs to be quoted properly if it contains a '' character when passing parameters).

Next step is to update cron with the wget command, as well as the function which runs a command in the background.

(In revision:937) Included windows executables bgrun (to run a program in the background, returning control to the PHP script immediately) and wget (to run SwissCenter scripts via the webserver and remove the reliance on having a CLI version of PHP installedand configured correctly).

The run_background() function now uses bgrun to execute a command in the background under windows, and this appears to work perfectly.

Scheduling media refreshes under windows (non-simiese) now uses at correctly (quotes are in the correct places!).

The run_foreground() function is no longer required and has been removed.

As a result of the move from a CLI PHP to using wget, the code checking the Swisscenter installation (on the main config screen) is much cleaner and easier to follow.
