Devfund

NOTE: This feature is off by default
The devfund is a fund managed by the Astrix community in order to fund Astrix development
A miner that wants to mine a percentage into the dev-fund can pass the following flags:
astrix-miner --mining-address= XXX --devfund=astrix:qqjzemurre653qvkxehfk4x2ngvdnzfusnyr85y8hu04gvq4jcv8q53frrp42
and can pass --devfund-precent=XX.YY to mine only XX.YY% of the blocks into the devfund (passing --devfund without specifying a percent will default to 1%)
