⚡️ BUG FIXES, STABILITY, BETTER BENCHMARK TEST, BETTER MESSAGES

• gpu device list checks on start
• graceful shutdown on CUDA errors
• boost factor test improvements - more accurate and safer results, limit values for amd gpus, fix start on gpu_id > 0
• re-arrange output (found, new params) - -v 2 outputs all necessary info to reduce logs
• new hashrate readings - instant and average; instant hashrate is usable for fine-tuning gpu
• "Mhash/s" scale instead of scientific scale for hashrates
• fix "gpu_id>=0 and gpu_id<=15" error
• fancy output colors on linux
• checks for system time sync
• lite-client returned to linux pre-build package
