Add yara_mp.py + .gitignore

yara_mp.py

• Example implementation of a fast recursive file scanner with multiprocessing using yara-python
• Speed reaches 50-75% of yara.c
• Works on linux, windows and mac os (uses start method "spawn")
• Runs with python 3 and 2
• Command line parameters aim to be compatible with yara.c (as far as implemented ;)
• Uses The Unlicense, do whatever you want with the code

I appreciate your contribution, but I don' think this code belongs here. The purpose of this repository is containing the yara-python library, and maybe some simple examples of how to use it. This program is mostly about how to use multiprocessing and queues and less about how to use the yara library.

before I started coding this, I was searching for a fast and portable example with yara-python and didn't find any. this is the most simple way I came up with that works around the pickling and runs on linux and windows.

maybe see it this way: in https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara there's also a lib and a cli tool. and that's in general quite common. but it's your choice, I can also put it in its own repo.
