dont_verify_images ignored at client startup #1194

Description

Reported by Juha on 1 Sep 43014132 00:33 UTC
At startup the client checks that all the files it tracks exist and their size is correct. The check for file size includes image files even if the user has selected "Skip image file verification". If the user's ISP is compressing image files this will cause images to be re-downloaded every time BOINC is restarted.

Fix (also separates "not found" and "wrong size" cases for better log messages):
