For the past two months we've been splitting system tests
into two categories: those that CAN be run in parallel,
and those that CANNOT. Much work has been done to replace
hardcoded names (mycontainer, mypod) with safename().
Hundreds of test runs, in CI and on Ed's laptop, have
proven this approach viable.
make {local,remote}system now runs in two steps: first
the serial ones, then the parallel ones. hack/bats will
now recognize the 'ci:parallel' tag and add --jobs (nprocs).
This requires some tweaking of leak_check, because there
can be umpteen tests running (affecting image/container/pod/etc
state) when any given test completes.
Rules for enabling parallelization in tests:
* use unique container/pod/volume/network names (safename)
* do not run 'podman rm -a' or 'rmi -a'
* never use the -l (--latest) option
* do not run 'podman ps/images' and expect precise output
