cooker: Rework the parsing results submission

The loop submitting the parser results was not efficient on many core systems
as may of the parsers could block for a long time waiting to send the results.
While a result was pending, the code wouldn't parse further jobs.

Change the code to parse further jobs even if the results can't be submitted
and lower the result submission timeout to keep the parsers busy.
