Description
It would be good if `installPackage` could run its M2 examples in parallel. Similarly for the tests from `check Package`.
Inside of Macaulay2, we probably have a way of seeing many processors we think we have. We could use that number of concurrent processes by default?

Research direction
Start by locating the installPackage handling for M2 examples and the check Package handling for tests. Trace how each currently schedules work, then determine how concurrent processes should be limited by available processors and how completion and failures should be reported. Done means both commands can run their workloads in parallel without losing reliable results.
