Use multiprocessing Pool for local function evaluator / async local function

[Balaji Pokuri]

This will help to manage the resources while performing direct function calls. It will also enable easy extension to local function evaluation on an hpc (long-large-queue) with large number of nodes reserved.

Fixed by added max_pending to function evaluator class. ffb16ee I suppose this could be problematic if any points get stranded in the pending list though (never checked again)
