Group.__init() should be parallelised

Consider the following snippet:

hosts = [...list of hosts...]
group = execnet.Group(("ssh %s" % host for host in hosts))
group.remote_exec(something)

Imagine having a grid of 200 hosts.
While Group.remote_exec() will run on all the hosts in parallel, Group.__init__() will connect via ssh to each one of them, serially. On a typical LAN, this easily accounts to minutes.

I attach a patch for multi.py (on top of the latest hg commit) that is intended to fix the problem. However, with that patch the program deadlocks in gateway_base.py, line 360, and I can't figure out the reason.

Empieza en multi.py, en Group.init, e inspecciona gateway_base.py alrededor de la línea 360, donde el parche indicado provoca un deadlock. Reproduce la inicialización con muchas pasarelas SSH y compara el comportamiento con el parche adjunto. Se considera terminado cuando la inicialización de Group se conecta a los hosts en paralelo sin provocar un deadlock y Group.remote_exec() sigue funcionando.
