I suspect almost everyone is using the parallel test harness now since
it is the default since automake 1.11.3, however I clarified the manual,
does it look okay? I fixed some more things to make it actual work too.

Another read through the manual section would be welcome to make sure it
is now correct and complete.  Review of the recent changes to
valgrind-tests.m4 is also appreciated - I didn't want to break backwards
compatibility for the VALGRIND variable so it became a bit complicated.
Also I'm not sure what the best names to use for variables are.  If we
want to fix anything, let's do it relatively soon before people start to
use the new version.
