Release v0.12.0

This miner imports Claymore's kernels into Genoil's miner. This has been tested with AMD RX 580s, and provides a slight speed improvement over Claymore's (the hashrate reporting seems to be slightly lower on my machine, but that's because Claymore's miner averages hashrate over a longer period of time). However, there is untested support for many AMD cards.

For the most part, this is a drop in replacement for Genoil's miner. It does have a few changes though. If a supported card is detected, that card automatically has its local workgroup set to 64 (i.e. wavefront size, which optimizes out some thread barriers ) and its workgroup set to #compute_units * 16384 * m where m is 8 by default, but can be changed on the command line via --eth-intensity m or -eint m``.

Additionally, some architectures have kernels that are suited to older or slower architectures, --optimize 0 uses the default genoil kernel --optimize 1 uses kernels for faster cards --optimize 2 uses kernels for slower cards. This is synonymous with -asv 1.

There is also a dev fee in this release, (which is not included in the source code distribution). It activates for 30 seconds of every hour, but can be turned off completely with no consequence by adding the option ``--i-suck'' to on the command line.
