test: tune down parallelism for some flaky tests
These tests seem to timeout quite often. I don't know why, but one possible reason is that they are starting a lot of threads. It seems that tests in `test/parallel` are assumed to only start one thread each, so having 11 threads running at a time feels like a lot. It also seems that these tests fail in a correlated fashion: take a look at [this reliability report][]. The failures all occur on the same build machines on the same PRs. This suggests to me some sort of CPU contention. [this reliability report]: nodejs/reliability#334 On my Linux machine decreasing the parallelism & iterations here reduce the `user` time from ~11.5 seconds to ~2 seconds, depending on the test. I have seen these tests take 30-60 seconds on CI (Alpine in particular). I went back to the diffs that introduced that introduced these changes and verified that they failed at least 90% of the time with the reduced iteration count, which feels sufficient.
