perf: add threading capability to perfbdiff
Since we are releasing the GIL during diffing, it is interesting to see how a
thread pool would perform on diffing. We add a new `--threads` argument to
commands. Synchronizing the thread pool is a bit complex because we want to be
able to reuse it from one run to another.
On my computer (i7 with 4 cores + hyperthreading), I get the following data for
about 12000 revisions:

8 7.070638 55.34 77.62% 75.18%
Compared to the feature disabled (threads=0), the overhead is negligible with
the threading code (threads=1), and the gain is already 48% with two threads.
