Title: getworkex && miniupnpc 1.5 compatibility

Hi! I've implemented 2 changes in original source tree

1) implementation of backward-compatibility with miniupnpc 1.5
2) new getworkex RPC call

The getworkex call provides a copy of the coinbase transaction and the merkle branch, whick allow mining pool generate new works locally by imcrementing ExtraNonce. A very quick-and-dirty benchmark of modified pushpoold suggests it should be able to reach in the ballpark of around 3000 getworks/sec, which is much better than I was seeing before with classic request proccessing scheme.

There is fork of pushpoold with scrypt and getworkex support:
