Add automated benchmark of the CPU hashers
...
The --algo switch now accepts the "auto" argument.
When "auto" is passed to --algo, cgminer starts by benchmarking
all the CPU algorithms it nows about and picks the fastest.
This is useful for benchmarking, but also for folks who run
cgminer on a large number of heterogeneous computers because
it saves them from having to configure each instance optimally.
Caveat emptor: depending on the platform, some algorithms will
fail with "illegal instruction" (e.g. via padlock code on non via
platforms, or SSE4 code on non SSE4 platforms).
To protect against this, cgminer runs the benchmarks in a child
process. The crash, if any occurs in the child, and the parent
marks this algo as "fails" and continues benchmarking the next
algorithm.
Unfortunately, this safeguard is only implemented for Linux
because I have no clue how to do this on win32 (nor access to
a win32 box).

Doing the same thing is possible using advanced bash

If that fails, then try once more at ten minutes and declare it dead.

Increase efficiency of slow mining threads such as CPU miners dramatically.
...
Do this by detecting which threads cannot complete searching a work item within the scantime and then divide up a work item into multiple smaller work items.
Detect the age of the work items and if they've been cloned before to prevent doing the same work over.
If the work is too old to be divided, then see if it can be time rolled and do that to generate work.
This dramatically decreases the number of queued work items from a pool leading to higher overall efficiency (but the same hashrate and share submission rate).
