Batch operation

While VDF compuation is sequential (by design), there may well be applications that require performing many simultaneous VDF computations with similar parameters. This is a natural fit for parallelism, both SIMD and multicore.

While conceptually easy, implementing this in practice will be hard, as it will require implementing an entirely new bignum library designed for batch processing.

Also, verification might be parallelizable? (Not sure right now whether this applies to our two VDF schemes.)

It might be. Not sure.
