Parallelize applyStrategy using the code in apply.paramsets for multiple symbols, as opposed to just what we are currently doing, which is to parallelize param.combos. The strategy results will not be directly visible in the same portfolio, but if the user sees value in viewing the results individually then the 4-8+ times speed-up in strategy execution should prove valuable especially for testing many symbols at once.

Original motivation for this feature enhancement comes from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63429617/how-do-i-replace-quantstrat-for-loop-with-mclapply-parallelized/63451991#63451991 and subsequent discussions with @braverock.
Expected behavior
Execute applyStrategy in parallel, using the
foreachconstruct inapply.paramset().
