build: adjust the number of processors for various tests

Many of our tests are multithreaded and can utilize many cores worth of
CPU during execution. Other tests are somewhat timing-sensitive and
might time out if run in coordination with a stress test, particularly
on a small machine which might only have four CPUs total.

This patch adjusts the core count property for a bunch of tests based on
some empirical analysis using a new 'perf-stat' wrapper capability
provided in run-test.sh. The wrapper produces periodic samples of the
CPU usage for each test. Measurements are written into log files which
can then be analyzed with a command like the following:

for x in build/latest/test-logs/*.perf.txt ; do
  echo -n $x
  grep task-clock $x | sort -nk2 | tail -1
done | sort -nk3

This resulted in a list of tests along with their peak CPU usage (from
their busiest 1000ms period). I used this as a rough guide to find tests
with inappropriate settings in CMakeLists.txt. The net effect of this
change is that 'ctest -j' might run slightly longer, but that we'll have
fewer flaky tests in such a run configuration because we don't have
stress tests perturbing timing of unrelated non-stress tests.
