For some reason this is marked as deprecated.
This is bad: parallel tests are fine for tiny tests which use only a
little bit of memory. However if your tests are very large and use a
lot of RAM then running them in parallel can cause them to fail
unnecessarily.
The libguestfs test suite is exactly like this: parallel tests causes
it to fail because you end up running multiple parallel VMs. Serial
tests is the right way to go for us.
