Testsuite now works with BSD make in parallel mode.

* tests/defs.in: Unset variables __MKLVL__ and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO,
which are exported by BSD make when run in parallel mode, and
which can confuse make processes spawned by our testsuite.
This change fixes a lot of spurious failure when the testsuite
is run with BSD make in parallel mode.
