[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Run binary package generation via thread pools (#226)

[Simon Lees]

Is it possible to get this accepted? I've been testing it on openSUSE's build services, with some very rough (semi controlled) benchmarking the speedup's aren't huge a medium size package that splits out into multiple packages might save 10 seconds off a 5-6 minute build but when you take that across a full distro rebuild of 10,000+ packages it will be significant.

Then there are things like libreoffice which is a silly long build, where the building the binary process used to take 900 seconds and is now cut down to 125 seconds, which equates to around an 8 minutes quicker although in the context of a almost 4 hr build time.

I am now looking into making a similar change for the processing binaries stage.
