This PR implements the same functionality as: #1233, but in a different manner. Only one of them should be merged.
Since pipeline logic is executed on a single thread, there are periods of low CPU usage while pipeline is not executing inference, but some other logic like sampling which can take quite large fraction of time. Currently after inference is done we sample from each sequence group in a loop on a single thread which becomes an issue with sampling parameters that significantly extend sampling time for a single sequence group.
This PR extracts sampling logic for single sequence group into a separate method that can be executed independently from any other sequence group. In includes generic thread pool implementation that spawns certain amount of threads that are used to run sampling logic for different sequence groups in parallel.
Performance measurements confirm improvement especially for non greedy sampling and with high concurrency (the more sequence groups are scheduled for inference the more benefit from parallel sampling).
