Sets CUDA kernel for selected algorithm(s)

Some algorithms have multiple implementations with different characteristics,
102+
for example, one may be more energy efficient and another can achieve
103+
higher hashrate at a cost of increased power consumption. In such cases
104+
the user can choose the implementation that suits their requirements.

Supported algorithms and values:

2 - default kernel for GTX 10xx series
110+
some 20xx and 30xx GPUs may benefit from choosing this kernel
111+
as more energy efficient than #3

To skip a GPU, set the corresponding value to underscore `_`
