[PATCH 3/4] Enable make-worker-thread-channel to create multiple worker threads.

[Christopher Baines <mail@cbaines.net>]

This will allow running multiple threads, that all listen on the same channel,
enabling processing multiple jobs at one time.

* src/cuirass/utils.scm (make-worker-thread-channel): Add a #:parallelism
argument, and create as many threads as the given parallelism.
