They are simply two sets of macros which allow you to very quickly
apply a particular set of restrictions/settings for the Startd

thus by quickly changing

PREEMPTION_RANK = <whatever>

to

PREEMPTION_RANK = UWCS_PREEMPTION_RANK

(and issuing a reconfig)
you w change the preemption rank to use the UWCS one.

UWCS is just some reasonable defaults used by the University Wisconsin
Computer Science dept.
They are a useful basis to work from in writing your own (though they
are *not* set up nicely for a pool largely or totally comprised of
vanilla jobs)

The TESTINGMODE ones are trivial booleans making a simple "I want a
job to run on this machine and then not get preempted" decisions while
testing a machine.
