make sure NEURON simulation runs are isolated
When NEURON simulation runs are not isolated, the results can get corrupted and memory not freed - leading to a larger memory usage.
This happened in https://github.com/BlueBrain/BluePyEModel/pull/111 when BPO processes were not isolated in tests using the --forked parameter. The tests failed as the simulation results were different. BPO should already guarantee that isolation. The systems depending on BPO cannot know it otherwise.
