[qmtest] Adding support for multiple programs per test

[Abhijeet Bisain]

I am thinking of tests where I need to spawn two processes (a client and a 
server, for example) on two different machines. So I need a way to spawn 
both and not have to wait for one to finish and then start the other.

Thanks,
Abhijeet
