Add .envrc file to set maximum number of test threads

We noticed that total test run time was much longer (30+ minutes vs. 10
minutes) on our new 16 logical core machines than our older 8 logical
core machines.

The tests seem to spend a long time starting parallel threads, either
because the (many) `require` statements in the Rakefile take a long time
when running many cores, or because they're waiting for a lockfile used
by the `parallel` gem.
