[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/3] support/tests: allow top-level parallel builds

[Yann E. MORIN]

Running tests with top-level parallel builds can speed up running some
tests, expecially those that have a lot of packages like the systemd
init tests.

Trigger TLPB when the configuration enables per-package directories.
