Implement parallelization of the calculation of hash-chains

Caution: Parallelization is only effective if the winternitz parameter is quite big and therefore a lot of hash operations are required.

Todo:

Find out smallest w parameter when parallelization is worth it (regard fork / execve overhead)
Write helper function to create c lists which will contain the signature / private key which will ultimately be hashed. c = number of cores
Implement parallelization for verify(...) operation, add parameter to specify whether this is wanted
Implement parallelization for sign(...) operation, add parameter to specify whether this is wanted
