* changes v3.10 -> v3.20:

The hashcat core was completely refactored to be a MT-safe library (libhashcat).

The CLI (hashcat.bin or hashcat.exe) works as before but from a technical perspective it's a library frontend.

- If cracking a hash-mode using unicode passwords, length check of a mask was not taking into account
- If cracking a large salted hashlist the wordlist reject code was too slow to handle it, leading to 0H/s
- Null-pointer dereference in outfile-check shutdown code when using --outfile-check-dir, leading to segfault
- On startup hashcat tried to access the folder defined in INSTALL_FOLDER, leading to segfault if that folder was not existing
- Random rules generator code used invalid parameter for memory copy function (M), leading to use of invalid rule
- Sanity check for --outfile-format was broken if used in combination with --show or --left

- Fixed a bug in implementation of DCC2: forced default iteration count for hashes to 10240
- Fixed a bug in implementation of WPA/WPA2: MAC and nonce stay one their original position as in the hccap file
- Fixed a bug in implementation of GOST R 34.11-94: zero length passwords were not cracked

- Removed deprecated GCC version check requirement
- Removed NPROCS from Makefile, let make automatically detect the optimal number of parallel threads
- Dropped all C++ overloading functions to normal function which helps support more OpenCL platforms
- Renamed functions in common.h to emphasize their purpose
- Refactorized fast-hash kernels to enable SIMD on all OpenCL platforms
- Refactorized SIMD handling: SIMD the inner-loop not the outer-loop to save registers
- Workaround missing clEnqueueFillBuffer() support in certain OpenCL runtimes
- Added amd_bytealign() support in non-AMD OpenCL runtimes
- Added amd_bfe() support in non-AMD OpenCL runtimes
- Added several macros to allow writing optimized code for the different OpenCL platforms
- Replaced typedef for bool with stdbool.h
- Added special DEBUG environment variables to the makefile
- Hashcat now acquires an exclusive lock before writing to any file
- Changed buffers to not use same buffer for both input and output at the same time with snprintf()
- Check for allocatable device-memory depending on kernel_accel amplifier before trying to allocate
- Added additional check for max. ESSID length to prevent possible crashes
- Use a GCC equivalent for __stdcall where applicable
- Synchronize maximum output line size with input line size
- Increased maximum hash line size to 0x50000
- Run weak-hash checks only in straight-attack mode, this greatly reduces code complexity
- Restrict loopback option to straight attack-mode
- Moved rules_optimize to hashcat-utils
- Stick to older libOpenCL in binary package to avoid errors like this: version `OPENCL_2.0' not found
- Tightened hash parser for several algorithms
- Updated old RC4 code in Kerberos 5
- Limited the salt length of Juniper Netscreen/SSG (ScreenOS) hashes to 10
- Updated algorithm used to automatically select an ideal --scrypt-tmto value
- Renamed option --gpu-accel to --kernel-accel
- Renamed option --gpu-loops to --kernel-loops
- Renamed option --gpu-devices to --opencl-devices
- Added inline declaration to functions from simd.c, common.c, rp.c and types_ocl.c to increase performance
- Dropped static declaration from functions in all kernel to achieve OpenCL 1.1 compatibility
- Added -cl-std=CL1.1 to all kernel build options
- Created environment variable to inform NVidia OpenCL runtime to not create its own kernel cache
- Created environment variable to inform pocl OpenCL runtime to not create its own kernel cache
- Dropped special 64-bit rotate() handling for NV, it seems that they've added it to their OpenCL runtime
- Completely get rid of HAVE_ADL, HAVE_NVML and HAVE_NVAPI in sources
- Replaced NVAPI with NVML on windows
