Current runtime/InvocationTests/ are long and serial. They take about half an hour on a modern desktop, mostly using a single CPU. They can be parallelized better, at least on sub-test level. This would be important as [JDK-8272914](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8272914) would start to run them in tier3.
Sample run times:
$ time CONF=linux-x86_64-server-fastdebug make run-test TEST=runtime/InvocationTests/
# Before
real 32m2.188s
user 59m12.818s
sys 0m45.612s
# After
real 17m21.110s
user 63m31.851s
sys 0m55.391s
I think we can technically go even deeper, for example parallelising by `packageSet` in the generators themselves, but that would be much more intrusive. I think 17 minutes is already quite good, given other tests running in prospective `hotspot:tier3`.
