Speed up mme and mpv

Now, the most time consuming operation is iteration over points in point cloud, which could be parallelized.

Hi, an already parallelized version can be found here ;) It's C++ though and the MPV is implemented a little differently, but the description in the paper isn't very detailed. So that's totally the authors' fault :) Let me know if you need help deciphering the code, it's pretty old.

@Razlaw , hello! Thanks for your comment! Actually, I keep in mind this code as good efficient implementation from the moment I started doing this research project :)

The current stage of the work is a proof-of-concept, the next steps will be more about engineering and creating a tool. I see this as a tool with a Python interface for possible application in ML/DL as a metric, so it should be fast and, maybe, parallelized on GPU also. So, we will be happy to reuse your code and provide bindings to it at least for CPU part.
