Summary:
When GNU parallel is available, "make check" tests are now run in parallel.
When /dev/shm is usable, we tell those tests to create temporary files therein.
Now, the longest-running single test, db_test, (which is composed of hundreds of sub-tests)
is no longer run sequentially: instead, each of its sub-tests is run independently, and can
be parallelized along with all other tests. To make that process easier, this change
creates a temporary directory, "t/", in which it puts a small script for each of those
subtests. The output from each parallel-run test is now saved in t/log-TEST_NAME.
When GNU parallel is not available, we run the tests in sequence, just as before.
If GNU parallel is available and you don't like the default of running one subtest
per core, you can invoke "make J=1 check" to run only one test at a time.
Beware: this will take a long time, and it starts with the two longest-running tests, so you
will wait for a long time before seeing any results. Instead, if you want to use fewer resources
but still see useful progress, try "make J=60% check". That will attempt to ensure that 60% of
the cores are occupied by test runs.
To watch progress of individual tests (duration, success (PASS-or-FAIL), name), run "make watch-log"
in the same directory from another window. That will start with something like this:
and when complete should show numbers/names like this:

Test Plan:
Timings (measured so as to exclude compile and link times):
With this change, all tests complete in 2m40s on a system for which nproc prints 32.
Prior to this this change, "make check" would take 24.5 minutes on that same system.
Here are durations (in seconds) of the longest-running subtests:
