Expand DOORS database server (doorsd) design to support multithreading

In light of enterprise software deployments moving away from real hardware to virtual machines and cloud environments, it is no longer ideal for DOORS 9 database server to function as a single-threaded process. To benefit from shared resources (storage, network, virtual CPU, etc) and load balancing, DOORS database server should be expanded in its design to embrace multi-threading.

    For us, this feature is highly important as today, all modern system have a lot of CPU/Threads available which are wasted for the usage of Classic DOORS-DBS.

    And also there are a lot of functionalities in DOORS-DBS, which can/must be parallelized, like Archiving, creating Baselines, ADXL/LDXL-processing, retrieving Link-data, , etc.
