PS8:
Some additional context for this patch and #479:

Originally the switch to parallel test framework was triggered by
https://gerrit.openvpn.net/c/openvpn/+/474 which required setting
up additional environment. This is also possible in the serial-test
framework, but was much more obvious with parallel.

The parallel test framework is the newer one which offers a lot more
options for customization. It is recommended by automake authors.
So I tested whether it works with our tests or whether there is any
reason it wouldn't work. It works fine.

In parallel there was a discussion where cron2 complained about the
test execution being too verbose, especially for the UTs. This is
addressed by the parallel test framework which is much less verbose
by default, but can't be addressed in serial-test framework.

The problem is that the parallel test framework default behavior is
not desirable in t_client context since that runs for a long time
and we would like to see live progress. This is solvable in the
parallel test framework since it is very configurable, but it
requires us forking the default test driver since the default
test driver itself is not configurable. You need to override it.
That is implemented by
https://gerrit.openvpn.net/c/openvpn/+/478 (copy test driver)
https://gerrit.openvpn.net/c/openvpn/+/479 (patch it)
