Revert "docs: parallel-tests is not experimental anymore"
This reverts commit
a9eef973b5ea47cc3495f1a8307d4f7b85aea46f.
It turned out that the current work to introduce TAP and SubUnit
support in Automake-generated testsuite harnesses will probably
require the introduction of slight incompatibilities in the
'parallel-tests' behaviour, starting from release 1.12 onward.
So it's advisable to continue to characterize the 'parallel-tests'
support as "experimental" in maintenance release 1.11.2.

docs: parallel-tests is not experimental anymore
The parallel-tests driver has now been used quite extensively
by a fair number of real-world applications (e.g., GNU coreutils,
GNU libtool, GNU grep, and various packages using Gnulib), and
thus exposed to adequate on-field testing. So there's no point
in declaring it experimental anymore (which would risk to make
potential users shy away from it).

declare the parallel-tests driver as "experimental" anymore.
