Subject: [PATCH] CI: run the tests with 4 threads

The CPU backend gives PoCL as many threads as Julia has, and the main CI
job uses one, so work-groups only ran in parallel in the POCL session
test's 4-thread subprocess. Add a job running the suite with 4 threads on
Linux and macOS, with Julia 1.10 and 1.13.
