Use ccan/opt for commandline parsing.
...
This cleans up option handling, by using ccan/opt rather than
handcoded getopt_long. We still have to open-code some things, such
as json config file handling.
The main change is that the --config option causes a file to be parsed
during commandline parsing, so you can override the results, and
provide multiple of them.
Other improvements are that 'help' and 'ndevs' are not valid arguments
in the config file; we use a separate argument table for such
commandline-only flags.

Signal handling in dns lookup code is responsible for libcurl crashes when multithreading.
...
Disable signal handling and use many curl handles instead, thus making work more asynchronous.
Theoretically a curl can wait forever on a dns lookup with this but it's extremely unlikely.

Make the next work item queue 2/3 of the way through the work on the current work item.
...
Load the first queued extra work in the main function to avoid having a once-off variable in get_work().
Load an extra set of work for each function in advance once a longpoll is detected since every thread will need to get new work.
Discard requests with a separate function to ensure the right number is always queued.

Get rid of the requirement for a static struct that needs locking to cache work.

Make it possible to use the thread id for getting work again.
Flag the getwork() function when we have a new block to explicitly discard any cached work when a new block is detected.
Store the header of each new work and compare it to blocks we're about to submit to decide if they're stale due to a new block and don't try to submit them.
This should significantly decrease the number of rejected blocks.
