Revert "docs: parallel-tests is not experimental anymore"

This reverts commit a9eef973b5ea47cc3495f1a8307d4f7b85aea46f.

It turned out that the current work to introduce TAP and SubUnit
support in Automake-generated testsuite harnesses will probably
require the introduction of slight incompatibilities in the
'parallel-tests' behaviour, starting from release 1.12 onward.
So it's advisable to continue to characterize the 'parallel-tests'
support as "experimental" in maintenance release 1.11.2.

Suggestion from Ralf Wildenhues.

-       docs: parallel-tests is not experimental anymore
-       The parallel-tests driver has now been used quite extensively
-       by a fair number of real-world applications (e.g., GNU coreutils,
-       GNU libtool, GNU grep, and various packages using Gnulib), and
-       thus exposed to adequate on-field testing.  So there's no point
-       in declaring it experimental anymore (which would risk to make
-       potential users shy away from it).
-       * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Do not
-       declare the parallel-tests driver as "experimental" anymore.
