Added support to run unit tests in a multithreaded context

- This is controlled by specifying the 'mtstress' argument when running
  `unit_test`.
- The goal is to detect if the operator/transformation  fails in this
  context.
- In this mode, the test will be executed 5'000 times in 50 threads
  concurrently.
- Allocation & initialization of the operator/transformation is
  performed once in the main thread, while the evaluation is executed in
  the threads.
  - This is consistent with the library's support for multithreading,
    where initialization and loading of rules is expected to run once.
    See issue #3215.
