systemc: Extend the execute phase of verify.py.
Add -j and --timeout options to the execute phase of verify.py.
The --timeout option is implemented using the timeout utility program
which is assumed to be available on the host system. Python 3.3 added
a timeout argument to the subprocess module which is an alternative
approach, but then we would be dependent on python 3.3.
-j is implemented using the standard multiprocess.pool.ThreadPool
class.
