Running tests in parallel is much faster, e.g. 15 seconds to run the tests
on sandbox (only), instead of 100 seconds (on a 16-core machine). Add a
'make pcheck' option to access this feature.
Note that the tools/ tests still run each tool's tests once after the
other, although within that, they do run in parallel. So for example,
the buildman tests run in parallel, then the binman tests run in
parallel. There would be a signiificant advantage to running them all
in parallel together, but that would require a large amount of
refactoring, e.g. with more use of pytest fixtures.
Update the documentation to represent the current state.

Add a second on writing tests, covering when to use Python and C, where
to put the tests, etc. Add a link to the existing Python test
documentation.

Add a few notes about the sandbox_spl tests, since they are special.

Add details about how to run a sandbox test directly, without using
pytest. This is more convenient for rapid development, since it is faster
and allows easier use of a debugger. Also mention sandbox_flattree as an
example of the different sandbox builds available.

Add a comment about this option in the documentation. Also mention the
script that runs these combinations.
