Kinda wonder whether we should backpatch the necessary changes to make
-j .. check work back to 9.4.

FWIW, I found that parallelizing on the top-level to get better
performance than within prove. The system load is more predicatable.

Indeed. Couldn't we just invent that on our end? I.e. in our prove
invocation, just redirect the output?

The most annoying noise imo is the pg_upgrade test. The set -x and the
fact that it resets MAKEFLAGS makes that pretty annoying.
