Summary: When running in a heavily parallelized env, the test becomes very slow and causes timeouts. Here we reduce the nb of threads.

Bugfixes:
- slow scanning of inverted lists (#836).
Features:
- add basic support for 6 new metrics in CPU `IndexFlat` and `IndexHNSW` (#848);
- add support for `IndexIDMap`/`IndexIDMap2` with binary indexes (#780).
Misc:
- throw python exception for OOM (#758);
- make `DistanceComputer` available for all random access indexes;
- gradually moving from `long` to `int64_t` for portability.
Changelog:
- changed license: BSD+Patents -> MIT
- propagates exceptions raised in sub-indexes of IndexShards and IndexReplicas
- support for searching several inverted lists in parallel (parallel_mode != 0)
- better support for PQ codes where nbit != 8 or 16
- IVFSpectralHash implementation: spectral hash codes inside an IVF
- 6-bit per component scalar quantizer (4 and 8 bit were already supported)
- combinations of inverted lists: HStackInvertedLists and VStackInvertedLists
- configurable number of threads for OnDiskInvertedLists prefetching (including 0=no prefetch)
- more test and demo code compatible with Python 3 (print with parentheses)
- refactored benchmark code: data loading is now in a single file
