This is only a very quick fix to prevent it deadlocking during shutdown.
This switches the CUDA implementation of gominer to use the new Blake3 hashing function. The CUDA implementation uses the same optimized kernel as the one developed for the OpenCL implementation, with the necessary changes to make it compile with the CUDA toolkit.
The size of the job sent to the GPU is gridsize * threadcount. The thread count can be roughly predetermined, based on the properties of the kernel and the currently available device families. This is currently set by default as 256. Autocalibration is done in a similar fashion to the OpenCL one, by determining the size where each job takes about 500ms.

This PR adds CUDA support for the Blake3 hashing algorithm to gominer, replacing the previous Blake256 implementation.
Note that the Windows version of the CUDA build of gominer has not been validated as working yet.
