run-command API: have run_process_parallel() take an "opts" struct

As noted in fd3aaf53f7 (run-command: add an "ungroup" option to
run_process_parallel(), 2022-06-07) which added the "ungroup" passing
it to "run_process_parallel()" via the global
"run_processes_parallel_ungroup" variable was a compromise to get the
smallest possible regression fix for "maint" at the time.

This follow-up to that is a start at passing that parameter and others
via a new "struct run_process_parallel_opts", as the earlier
version[1] of what became fd3aaf53f7 did.

Since we need to change all of the occurrences of "n" to
"opt->SOMETHING" let's take the opportunity and rename the terse "n"
to "processes". We could also have picked "max_processes", "jobs",
"threads" etc., but as the API is named "run_processes_parallel()"
let's go with "processes".

Since the new "run_processes_parallel()" function is able to take an
optional "tr2_category" and "tr2_label" via the struct we can at this
point migrate all of the users of "run_processes_parallel_tr2()" over
to it.

But let's not migrate all the API users yet, only the two users that
passed the "ungroup" parameter via the
"run_processes_parallel_ungroup" global
