Ethminer: Option -X will use Nvidia GPU twice

I would prefer to refactor the way -U, -G and -X works.
I really like the way claymore does the selection, its basically -X by default.
I would keep an option to force opencl on nvidia, but otherwise if cuda and cards are detected run cuda for the cards and opencl for others if detected.
I would also like an option to run opencl on nvidia and amd at the same time. (aka multiple ocl platforms), its less of nvidia+amd and more that in the past its hard for the users to understand that they need to select a platform. so i would combine all platforms devices to just opencl devices.

I agree.

@smurfy the behavior is exactly what you described. -X is on by default and you can have multiple oclPltaforms. NVIDIA detection takes precedence.
