[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Run file verification in parallel threads (#703)

[Panu Matilainen]

While we're playing with parallelising things...

On my rusty old laptop, this tends to just slow things down unless
things are hot in cache, in which case it roughly halves the running time.

Might be worth more on SSD based setup, I'd be interested to hear results on such systems.
For now, this is just for giggles and feedback, not intended for merging.

Strictly speaking, this depends on PR #701 as we cannot fork while threading.
