This change limits the number of tests that are run in parallel. This
way we do not overwhelm the operating systems' scheduler. As a
side-effect, we also get more accurate runtime information, and it
will be easy to implement timeouts on top of this.
Use TESTFLAGS to limit the number of jobs:
$ make check-all TESTFLAGS=--parallel=16
