The goal of this PR is to decrease Toree's startup time by breaking out the ScalaInterpreter initialization and running it in its own thread. If you count the startup time as the time it takes KernelBootstrap.initizalize to complete, I saw the average startup time go from 8.16s to 5.69s on my laptop. I started the kernel ten times with the original code and my changes.
