Add option to download packages in parallel

See original GitHub issue

When running conan install on a file that depends on a lot of packages those packages should be able to be downloaded in parallel. This should speed up that process a lot. Especially if unpacking would be done in parallel as well. This should of course be an option of some sorts I think. But it would be a huge win for some CI deployments.
