DAOS-6916 test: Fix interception library tests by letting threads to …

…have independent data (#4828) (#5243)

IOR thread was using self.ior_cmd. This will lead to a collision between threads because many things, such as ior command
arguments, are shared. Updated ior_test_base.py so that each thread will have its own IorCommand object so that they are
independent and no need to sleep between the thread starts.
Updated ior_intercept_dfuse_mix.py test steps to do a comparison of 2 IOR threads throughput performance. Also print out
a summary of improvements.
Removed use_json from pool_query.
Added control_method: dmg to yaml.
Also refactored tags.
