Add "efficiency" and "utility"
...
Efficiency is the percentage of getworks compared to the amount of
work requested from the pool. It can go higher than 100% in case
more shares than getworks were found. Some pools prefer miners to
have a high efficiency; CPU miners likely exhibit a low efficiency.
Utility is the number of shares found per minute, since the miner
was started. It is another way to describe the effectiveness of
a miner.

Fix the case where there are no GPUs, and exit if they give errors.
...
If there are no GPUs, set nDevs to 0 not -1 (status is set to an
unhelpful -1001 here on my laptop, so we can't rely on a particular
status value).
Also, if nDevs is -1, exit rather than screwing up later.

Fix --ndevs/-n option.
...
The option should be called from within the callback, and just use
printf to give the raw result, rather than using applog which prepends
a timestamp.

Cleanup --cpu-threads/-t logic
...
Currently it gets negated which means the default printed is wrong.
Use an explicit flag to tell if the user has overridden it; if they
haven't, and they turn off the GPUs, reset it to num_processors.

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.

ccan: downgrade ccan/opt license from GPLv3 (or later) to GPLv2 (or later)
...
As sole author, I can do this. But as far as I know, the GPLv3 is just
a better GPL, and I prefer it.
