ENH: parallel context

Currently don't have support for mapping yet, but we can submit system calls or function calls now via IPython. The latter may require state updates on the engines, which is feasible from the current context. It is likely that mapping will go in relatively easily. 

From the shell:

```bash
$ echo -e "profile\tdefault" >> ~/.qiime_config
$ echo -e "n_engines\t2" >> ~/.qiime_config
$ parallel start
```

From within Python:

```python
>>> from qiime.parallel.context import context
>>> context.submit_sync('hostname')
('rl1-1-220-221-dhcp.int.colorado.edu\n', '', 0)
>>> def foo():
...     return "bar"
...

>>> context.submit_sync(foo)
'bar'
>>> def foo(a):
...     return a**2
...
>>> res = context.submit_async(foo, 5)
>>> res.result
25
```

From the shell:

```bash
$ parallel stop
```
I don't know if its feasible, but there really seems to be some common patterns here that may be decomposable... or do you think its to specific?
