Release notes for 5.1.0

Heavily optimized detection engine (roughly 20-30x speedup, or where a detection may have taken 100ms before it would now take about 4ms )

the old detection engine was a regex + layered checking through the site which while quick to make is impossible to performance optimize and had several fun edge cases killing performance (hint: whitespace, which is found on all sites)

The new detection engine is a handrolled state-machine with range matching, I have been using the dev-version plugin myself the last couple of weeks, so I have hopefully caught all meaningful problems, but please report any issues on github: https://github.com/Baizey/UniversalAutomaticCurrencyConverter
