# Description
This updates our proof-of-work middleware, NoLLaMas, to work on a more easily configurable algorithm (thank you f0x for bringing this to my attention!). Instead of requiring that a solution with pre-determined number of '0' chars be found, it now pre-computes a result with a pre-determined nonce value that it expects the client to iterate up-to. (though with some level of jitter applied, to prevent it being too-easily gamed). This allows the user to configure roughly how many hash-encode rounds they want their clients to have to complete.

* replace media workers with just runners.WorkerPool, move to state structure, use go-sched for global task scheduling
* improved code comment
* fix worker tryUntil function, update go-runners/go-sched
* make preprocess functions package public, use these where possible to stop doubled up processing
* remove separate emoji worker pool
* limit calls to time.Now() during media preprocessing
* use Processor{} to manage singular runtime of processing media
* ensure workers get started when media manager is used
* improved error setting in processing media, fix media test
* port changes from processingmedia to processing emoji
* finish code commenting
* finish code commenting and comment-out client API + federator worker pools until concurrency worker pools replaced
* linterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
