Consider adding `multicore-sdr` support for Filecoin proofs
Issue summary
The feature multicore-sdr can be added to the Filecoin proofs which is done in Lotus by default (via filecoin-ffi). It is unclear to me if those optimizations are useful only when doing operations like PC1 (which Forest doesn't do) or they could be helpful during validations as well.
Note that multicore-sdr requires adding hwloc as a dependency to Forest (and hwloc-devel or similar to Forest builds).
Run Forest with and without those optimizations (perhaps compute a few hundred tipsets) and see if it's worth adding it as a dependency.
