    The Mining tab's pool mode, corrected.

    The 9 September builds screened their own stratum shares against the pool's lenient
    acceptance bound rather than the plain difficulty handed to them in mining.set_difficulty.
    Miningcore accepts shares that loose, but no other miner submits them: cpuminer and sgminer
    screen against the difficulty they are given. The result was that this wallet lodged
    hundreds of shares where an equivalent third-party miner lodged one, and since payment is
    by share weight, a wallet miner was credited far beyond its share of the work -- out of
    everyone mining beside it.

    Measured on our own two machines before any outside miner was on the pool: a wallet doing
    95 kH/s took 98.31% of the reward against a GPU doing 236 kH/s. After this change the same
    pair split 33/67 against a work split of roughly 30/70, and both settle at the pool's
    15-second share target.

    Solo mining was never affected and is unchanged.

    Built from 7a8a6864 on fix/stratum-share-multiplier, mingw gcc 10-posix on vps3.
    Offerings-cli.exe is byte-identical to the previous build; the CLI does not link the miner.

    If you are running any earlier Bloated Squid build, replace it with this one.
