hyperscan will run simultaneously all version checkers on a file which reduce processing time.
pyperscan package is used instead of the most well-known hyperscan package as pyperscan allows to add a tag for each pattern. This feature will allow to retrieve easily the checker associated to the matched pattern.
On my local machine, running a scan on an embedded firmware takes 220 seconds with pyperscan instead of 326 seconds.
However, pyperscan is slower on a single file and unsupported on Windows, so add a --pyperscan option (disabled by default)
