Description
When using multiple process / domains it would be nice to have them load/unload in parallel instead of serially. For large test suites with many dlls this can be a large performance gain.
We could take this a step further and make all operations run in parallel, the additional missing ones would be
- CountTestCases
- Explore
- Dispose
I'd be happy to take this work on after some discussion here

Research direction
Start with the AggregatingTestRunner implementation at src/NUnitEngine/nunit.engine/Runners/AggregatingTestRunner.cs, especially lines 92-113. Review how package loading and unloading are currently coordinated, then consider the additional CountTestCases, Explore, and Dispose operations named in the issue. Done means the relevant operations run in parallel without breaking multi-process or multi-domain test execution.
