There is no need to try to switch pools in select_pool since the current pool is actually not affected by the choice of pool to get work from.

Ignore the submit_fail flag when deciding whether to recruit more curls or not since we have upper bounds on how many curls can be recruited, this test is redundant and can lead to problems.

Implement a new pool strategy, BALANCE, which monitors work performed per pool as a rolling average every 10 minutes to try and distribute work evenly over all the pools.
...
Do this by monitoring diff1 solutions to allow different difficulty target pools to be treated equally, along with solo mining.
Update the documentation to describe this strategy and more accurately describe the load-balance one.
