Bug Description
At the moment, you can't run the test suite in the background and continue to work on other branches (in particular, running tests in those other branches). The test suite trashes a single, global database which listens on hard-coded ports, and writes to files in hard-coded absolute paths.
This is a big barrier to running 'make check' on developer workstations.

Also, being able to run more than one instance of the test suite would allow the test suite to be run more quickly on local machines, since the test suite is known to be CPU-bound.
