1bash edits:
  Added EWBF_OPTS and ZM_OPTS for telemetry/api to EWBF and ZM miner (stubo)

  Changed sleep time before wdog goin on watch to be based on gpu counts (papampi)
  Set higher process and disk I/O priorities - watchdog is essential service
  Code optimization (leenoox)
  Workaround for some 1050's reporting "Unknown" or "ERR" when power.draw is queried from nvidi-smi (leenoox)

temp control (by leenoox):
  Set higher process and disk I/O priorities - Temp control is essential service
  Auto detection of number of GPU's
  Only set, adjust and display available GPU's, dynamic variables creation
  Numeric check of the return values from nvidia-smi (looking for numbers only, anything else = error)
  Reboot if GPU error detected and watchdog didn't react for 60 seconds (act as a backup watchdog)
  Added query delay to nvidia API (no burst spamming, added 0.5 sec delay, prevent overload), helps reduce stale shares
  New (improved) display output including colors and bold text
  Fixed the log file handling (Bug fix: Previous implemantation was not limiting the file size)
  Removed repetitive GPUFanControlState setting, it only needs to be set once, not every cycle (prevent API overload)
  Workaround for some 1050's reporting "Unknown" or "ERR" when power.draw is queried from nvidi-smi

nvOC utility (by stubo):
  New function based utility that has many features including gpuinfo, stop, start, clearlogs, restart, etc.
   

Others: 
  Added log rotation (papampi)
  Changed minerinfo and papampi-telegram for new log locations (papampi)
