Do not upgrade to cgminer 3.8.0

The authors have removed all support for GPU mining and potentially broken other things in the process:

I've finally bitten the bullet and killed off GPU mining from the code and it will not be in the release I'm about to post.

I need to take some time and think, but I am pretty certain I will be removing any official support for cgminer in MultiMiner. I also intend to stop updating the Homebrew scripts, formulas, and binaries as well. This is not the only reason, but rather the "straw that broken the camel's back". I do this as a hobby and, to be frank, I cannot keep up with how often the cgminer team releases new, mostly broken versions. To put it bluntly - Luke does not do this.

I will continue to work with and maintain support for the bfgminer project.

Edit: Because I'm OCD I'm going to fix MultiMiner to work with these breaking changes to cgminer. From there I will have to keep thinking about whether I want to maintain my cgminer-based projects. It really has become a time sink.
