BFGMiner 5.0.0 released

[Luke Dashjr]

Human readable changelog:
- Multi-blockchain support: BFGMiner can now be told which pools use the same
  "mining goals", and will track the blockchain independently for ones that
  don't. This allows you to mine multiple cryptocurrencies concurrently using
  any pool strategy (including balance and load-balance).
- Multi-algorithm support: BFGMiner is now capable of hashing on both scrypt
  and SHA256d work at the same time, and you can assign the mining algorithm
  to use on a per-goal basis. As with multi-blockchain support, this works
  even in balancing strategies. Note that at this time, only CPU, OpenCL, and
  Proxy drivers actually support multiple algorithms at the same time
  (DualMiner must be preconfigured for only one, and GridSeed remains scrypt-
  only).
- Stratum extensions for mining goals: New experimental methods
  mining.capabilities and mining.set_goal for Stratum allow you to expose
  control of the mining algorithm to the pool. These extensions are considered
  draft and may be changed based on the needs of multiblockchain pool
  operators.
- RPC: Also extended for multiple mining goals/algorithms. Interface is
  subject to change.
- kncasic: New driver for KnCMiner Neptune (and 2nd-gen Jupiter modules).
- minion: New driver for BlackArrow Prospero X1.5.
- titan: Work flushing optimisations from KnCMiner, and reduce processor view
  from per-core to per-die.
- Keccak: Support for the SHA-3 winner hash as a proof-of-work algorithm.
- opencl: Workaround broken global work offset support in buggy drivers.
- opencl: GPU mining is now disabled by default for scrypt. Use -S opencl:auto
  to enable it.
