The Eigen solver has the ability to use OpenMP to run the solver computations in parallel. Made the AP flow use the num_workers option to set the number of threads that Eigen can use.
VPR did not have the ability to build with OpenMP in its CMAKE. Added an option to the CMAKE to allow the user to enable OpenMP.
Resolves #3030
Currently running the VTR circuits using 4 threads, will show the results. As a preview, MCML's Global Placement went from 141 seconds to 92 seconds on 4 threads.
I made OpenMP disabled by default for now since only the AP flow uses OpenMP. Perhaps we can enable this by default only when AP is enabled or just always enable it.
