Subject: [PATCH] tests: run all tests in parallel, if available

If either the moreutils or GNU parallel utility are available, run all
tests in parallel.  On my eight core machine this makes for a ~x7
speed-up in the full test suite (1m24s -> 12s).

The design of the test suite makes this parallelization trivial.
