Full changelog

- Provide rudimentary support for the balancing failover strategies with stratum
and GBT by switching pools silently on getwork requests.
- Convert remaining modminer and bfl uses of usleep to nmsleep.
- Convert libztex to nmsleep where possible.
- Convert unreliable usleep calls to nmsleep calls in ztex driver.
- Support workid for block submission on GBT pools that use it.
- Provide rudimentary support for literal ipv6 addresses when parsing stratum
URLs.
- Work around libcurl cflags not working on hacked up mingw installations on
windows.
- Only increase gpu engine speed by a larger step if the temperature is below
hysteresis instead of increasing it to max speed.
- Convert pool not responding and pool alive message on backup pools to verbose
level only since they mean a single failed getwork.
- Update work block on the longpoll work item before calling restart threads to
ensure all work but the longpoll work item gets discarded when we call
discard_stale from restart_threads.
- Do not attempt to remove the stratum share hash after unsuccessful submission
since it may already be removed by clear_stratum_shares.
- Check against a double for current pool diff.
- Support for fractional diffs and the classic just-below-1 share all FFs diff
target.
