CI: enable parallel testing in CI builds

The test-ci target now uses 2 processes by default, but the amount of
parallelism is tuned for each CI service and build environment based on
results of a number of test runs.  Some CI services use super-
oversubscribed build machines that can barely run the curl tests
already with no parallelism without frequently failing with
timing-induced failures. These continue to be run without parallelism.
Other services provide two fast, unloaded cores and these run with 14
processes, which is a good default for this kind of environment.

Here's a summary of the number of test processes by CI service:

  Appveyor - 2 (Windows MSVC), 1 (others)
  Azure - 2
  Circle CI - 14
  Cirrus - 28 (macOS), 14 (Linux), 7 (FreeBSD), 5 (macOS torture), 2 (Windows)
  GitHub Actions - 3 (macOS), 2 (Linux)

Some of these are a bit conservative to keep timing-induced flakiness down.

The net result is that the first test results should arrive only
3 minutes after a commit submission.
