allow a way to run jobs in parallel

If you set cmake.ctest.allowParallelJobs to true, then jobs can run in parallel. However, this also means that the result output may be garbled (no functional impact).

I tested this on bullet3 and it appeared to work properly, but if someone can help with more thorough testing that would be nice because I am still learning the extents of ctest

Could you paste in a screenshot of what the new functionality looks like? Or if it's easier to ping that offline that's fine. The code looks fine, especially since it's based on a user opt-in setting. 👍

Leaving time for testing.

This also needs a doc update to document the new setting.
