The format could just call opencl_build_kernel() and the common code could use the binary if available, transparent to the format. However, I guess we need some kind of version-control.

After making all my formats use this caching feature (which shaves 10 seconds off wpapsk & krb5pa-sha1 init on my laptop) I realized that some formats, most notably the ntlmv2-opencl, must not use a cached binary unless the compile options match. So I just committed adding the options (if supplied) to the file name. It doesn't look pretty but it works fine. Here is an example of binary name: "ntlmv2_kernel_-DKEYBUF_SIZE=9 -DENC_ISO_8859_1 -DENCODING=ISO_8859_1GeForce GT 650M.bin". Maybe we should strip all spaces from the name, or replace them with underscores, but this would only be cosmetical.

BTW I have also changed opencl_init_opt() to always use that caching (save=1, warn=0). Saved me from changing all my formats :)
