[JENKINS-12480] Build step that runs multiple jobs in parallel, and blocks until all are complete

We would like to kick off multiple test jobs as build steps, and block waiting for them all to finish. Currently the execute serially. But we have lots of available resources to run them, so it would be so nice to run them in parallel, and get the results in 1 hour, rather than many.
