Parallel tactic (#9824) (#9825)

Browse source 
Add new parallel algorithm as a tactic (parallel_tactical2.cpp)
Don't port over old experiments from smt_parallel that we aren't using
(sls, inprocessing, failed_literal_mode for bb detection)
Fix bugs: lease cancellation/reslimit race condition, involves changing
lease epoch to simple boolean flag
Also, now there is a single shared set of params for the tactic and
smt_parallel

**Test runs for the parallel_tactical2 vs old smt_parallel version:**
run-2747-Z3-threads-4-qflia-30s-stats.md
run-2746-Z3-threads-4-qflia-30s-parallel_tactic-stats.md
run-2745-Z3-threads-1-qfbv-30s-stats.md
run-3013-Z3-threads-4-qfbv-30s-parallel_tactic-stats.md --> note this is
indeed run-3013, I reran after a bugfix in inc_sat_solver
run-2743-Z3-threads-4-qfnia-30s-stats.md
run-2742-Z3-threads-4-qfnia-30s-parallel_tactic-stats.md

**Test runs for the new smt_parallel with bugfixes:**
run-2801-Z3-threads-4-qflia-30s-smtparallel-bugfixes-stats.md,
run-2800-Z3-threads-4-qflia-30s-smtparallel-bugfixes-stats.md
run-2797-Z3-threads-4-qfnia-30s-smtparallel-bugfixes-stats.md
compare to old smt_parallel:
run-2747-Z3-threads-4-qflia-30s-stats.md
run-2743-Z3-threads-4-qfnia-30s-stats.md

Note that there is a slight regression on lia in run-2800. The source of
this appears to be the new new LP largest-cube LIA heuristic param,
which is enabled by default. disabling this param in run-2801 restored
performance (I didn't change this in this PR though, just something to
note)
