add ctest PROCESSORS property to aid scheduling
This helps speed up testing when using
ctest -j8
or the like, because the CTest scheduler can run groups of tests based on the processors they use. Without this info, it may schedule 8 tests at once, some of which actually use multiple processors.On trouble, I got the following results:
without PROCESSORS:
Total Test time (real) = 94.14 sec
with PROCESSORS:
Total Test time (real) = 60.01 sec
