Added GPU Temperature Monitoring to Conky for multiple ATI cards

Added the following lines:

GPU Core 0: $color${execi 8 aticonfig --adapter=0 --odgt | grep -A 1 'Sensor 0' | cut -c37-40 | sed '/^$/d'}c

This displays 'GPU Core0:' in front, executes the command 'aticonfig --adapter=0 odgt', greps for line with 'Sensor 0', cuts out all data except what is inbetween spaces 37-40, then displays it with a 'c' right after to signify temperature.
