Major update to v2.1.0.

A big loss of performance is the conversion of the network from something Rust-Compatible, to something C compatible (Around 12-13ms of a total ~65ms for compute in the benchmarks! Pretty substantial)

This is a pretty easy fix; to do this computation beforehand. The training is only Rust anyway, so it'd only have to update it once it's finished, rather than every cycle, substantially improving performance there. Since compute doesn't change the values stored in the network it should never need to update the C stuff!

Somehow my patch has majorly decreased GPU performance. God knows how.

GPU performance has been resolved, but it seems that the compute shader isn't working properly. I'm working on a fix!

Changes in this version:

• Huge refactor, a lot of code has been pulled from an older version to fix regressions in v2.0.0
• GPUs work again!
• Older documentation should generally still apply, but for the time being, a lot has changed

As for plans in the future:

• Rewrite big chunks of the project in C.
  • I want to migrate the project from relying on Rust; in an ideal world you can simply use the C library for extra language support
  • A lot of the C code has been removed in this update in order to fix GPU compute and at least removes some of the overhead from Rust -> C.
• 16 bit multithreading, and further optimizations are planned long term
