tests: Enable running parallel unit tests for Windows.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
testsuite uses mkfifo in its job dispatcher that manages
parallel unit tests. MinGW does not have a mkfifo. This
results in unit tests running serially on Windows. Right
now it takes up to approximately 40 minutes to run all the
unit tests on Windows.

This commit provides a job dispatcher for MinGW that uses
temporary files instead of mkfifo to manage parallel jobs.
With this commit, on a Windows machine with 4 cores and with
8 parallel unit test sessions, it takes approximately 8
minutes to finish a unit test run.
