- The usual serial to parallel test conversion to utilize the `setup.bash` common setup structure, and adding a `TEST_PREFIX` var for each test case to leverage.
- Standardize on parallel test naming conventions for variables / values.
- More consistent use of `bash -c` instead of `/bin/bash -c` or `/bin/sh -c`.
- Using the `_run_in_container` helper instead of `run docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME}`.
- Updates tests to use the `check_if_process_is_running` helper.

chore: Revise inline docs for the `ssl_letsencrypt` test
- Moves the override to be in closer proximity to the `initial_setup` call, and better communicates the intent to override.
- Removes top comment block that is no longer providing value or correct information to maintainers.
- Revised `acme.json` test case inline doc comments.
`tls.bash` helper was adapted to the new helper scripts location. The `setup.bash` helper saw a bugfix (expanding the array properly) and updates the container default config to configure for IPv4 explicitly.
The IPv4 default was added after recent Docker pushes and I saw weird IPv6 related errors in the logs.. now we're sure IPv4 is the default during tests.
Added functionality to check if a process is running:
- This change adds a helper function to check whether a program is running inside a container or not.
- This added the need for a function like `_run_in_container` but allowing for providing an explicit container name.
- Future PRs can use this helper function now to check whether a process is running or not. This was done for the tests of Fail2Ban, but can be used for other tests in the future as well.

chore: Restructured BATS flags in `Makefile`
The `Makefile` has seen a bit of a restructuring when it comes to flags:
1. The `MAKEFLAGS` variables is used by `make`, and allows for adding additional flags that can be used within in recursive calls (via `$(MAKE)`) too, thus DRY approach.
2. The flags for calling BATS were adjusted. `--no-parallelize-within-files` has been added as well to ensure tests _inside_ a single file are run sequentially.
`dms-test` prefix matching changed to expect a `_` suffix as a delimiter.

docs: Add a note regarding output from running tests in parallel
* chore: Set `TLS_INTERMEDIATE_SUITE` to only use TLS 1.2 ciphersuites
Removes support of the following cipher suites that are only valid for TLS 1.0 + 1.1:
- `ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA`
- `ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA`
- `ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA`
- `ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA`
- `DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA`
- `DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA`
* chore: Update TLS version min and ignore settings
These are now the same as modern settings.
* fix: Remove min TLS support workaround
No longer required now that outdated TLS versions have been dropped.
* tests: Remove support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 ciphersuites
* tests: Remove support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 ciphersuites (Port 25)
The removed SHA1 cipher suites are still supported in TLS 1.2, thus they've been excluded for port 25 via the `SHA1` exclusion pattern in `main.cf`.
With `reload` a change detection event during local testing can be processed in less than a second according to logs. Previously this was 5+ seconds (_plus additional downtime for Postfix/Dovecot to become available again_).
In the past it was apparently an issue to use `<service> reload` due to a concern with the PID for wrapper scripts that `supervisorctl` managed, thus `supervisorctl <service> restart` had been used. Past discussions with maintainers suggest this is not likely an issue anymore, and `reload` should be fine to switch to now 👍
---
**NOTE:** It may not be an issue in the CI, but on _**local systems running tests may risk failure in `setup-cli.bats` from a false positive**_ due to 1 second polling window of the test helper method, and a change event being possible to occur entirely between the two checks undetected by the current approach.
If this is a problem, we may need to think of a better way to catch the change. The `letsencrypt` test counts how many change events are expected to have been processed, and this could technically be leveraged by the test helper too.
---
**NOTE:** These two lines (_with regex pattern for postfix_) are output in the terminal when using the services respective `reload` commands:
```
postfix/master.*: reload -- version .*, configuration /etc/postfix
dovecot: master: Warning: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration
```
I wasn't sure how to match them as they did not appear in the `changedetector` log (_**EDIT:** they appear in the main log output, eg `docker logs <container name>`_).
Instead I've just monitored the `changedetector` log messages, which should be ok for logic that previously needed to ensure Dovecot / Postfix was back up after the `restart` was issued.

Commit history:
* chore: Change events `reload` Dovecot and Postfix instead of `restart`
Reloading is faster than restarting the processes.
Restarting is a bit heavy handed here and may no longer be necessary for general usage?
* tests: Adapt tests to support service `reload` instead of `restart`
* chore: Additional logging for debugging change event logs
* fix: Wait on change detection, then verify directory created
Change detection is too fast now (0-1 seconds vs 5+).
Directory being waited on here was created near the end of a change event, reducing that time to detect a change by the utility method further.
We can instead check that the directory exists after the change detection event is completed.
* chore: Keep using the maildir polling check
We don't presently use remote storage in tests, but it might be relevant in future when testing NFS.
This at least avoids any confusing failure happening when that scenario is tested.
As per deprecation notice from v11.3 release notes, and a related prior PR; this ENV is to be removed.
It's no longer considered useful, and none of the tests that configured it were actually using it for relaying anything.
## Pull Request
### ci: Run tests in parallel (part 1)
- Tests can now be arbitrarily grouped into sub-directories.
- Some tests are now run in parallel.
- CI will now spawn 4 jobs to run the whole test suite in parallel.
## Individual Commits
### tests(chore): Rename test files to serial and parallel types
- `test_helper.bats` needs more work than this PR provides to be compatible with parallel tests, so must remain as a serial test for now.
- `spam_bounced.bats` had failures as a serial test, but works well converted to a parallel test in a future commit.
### tests(CI): Adjust Makefile & GHA workflow to support new test layout
These updates support running tests that have been relocated into `serial` and `parallel/set*` directories.
- `make tests` now calls the two make targets beneath it. The only difference is that `serial` continues the "1 test at a time" approach used prior to this PR, while the `parallel` target increases the `--jobs` arg to run multiple tests concurrently (_configured by `PARALLEL_JOBS`_).
- The `test/%` target leverages Bash syntax magic to ease running single tests without providing the exact path.
- This syntax also supports providing multiple test names (eg: `make test/clamav,template`) to run.
- `**` (globstar) allows for future improvements that can group multiple test files into sub-directories by their scope (eg: anti-spam, ssl, etc).
---
chore: Add `shopt -s globstar` to other targets
I realized that other targets should have this as well in case it is not set.
It is better to be more explicit here than to have weird errors due to `**` not expanding properly.
---
fix(Makefile): Add back `.PHONY` targets
I encountered `make` telling me the target was already up-to-date, which of course is nonsense.
I therefore added back the `.PHONY` targets to ensure tests are always run.

docs: Added instructions for running a single test

### tests(chore): Use `REPOSITORY_ROOT` export var from Makefile
Allows for using `load` with an absolute path instead of a relative one, which makes it possible to group tests into different directories.
Parallel tests differ slightly, loading the newer `helper/common.bash` and `helper/setup.bash` files instead of the older `test_helper/common.bash` which serial tests continue to use.
### tests(refactor): `common.bash` helper split into two files
The current `test/test_helper/common.bash` was getting large. Setup logic has been extracted out into a new file.
`common.bash` resides in a directory named `test_helper/`, the `test_` prefix is redundant.
As an interim solution this provides a new approach for the updated tests, while the "old" tests can use the "old" `common.bash`. Eventually all tests should migrate to the new approach in `helper/` instead of the older `test_helper/`.
The new helper files are located under `test/helper/` (_which drops the `test_` prefix_). The new and updated helpers apply the new naming convention for ENV variables (_such as `CONTAINER_NAME` or `IMAGE_NAME`_).
---
Some refactoring occurred, including new methods like `_run_in_container()` and `_default_teardown()`.
---
I encountered a situation before in which the updated tests would fail because there were collisions of ENV names in the tests (_for example with `CONTAINER_NAME`_).
### tests(refactor): Conversion to parallel tests and use revised helpers
- Introduced `CONTAINER_NAME` and `TEST_NAME_PREFIX` as new vars for better managing test consistency (DRY).
- `CONTAINER_NAME` replaces any repeated container name with the variable. The value will differ slightly as the prior prefix (`mail_`) has been changed to `dms-test-`.
- `TEST_NAME_PREFIX` provides a prefix value for each `@test` description string.
