Overlapping the cleanup and download saved only ~17 s, and the download competed with the cleanup for disk I/O. Assisted-by: ClaudeCode:claude-opus-5-5

I found out about this in pypa/build#1213. Based on this, I've added a skill to henryiii/skills to do this in other repos.
I think we need to trim our CI a bit, but making jobs faster without trimming is always a win if it works. :)

Description
Use the new GitHub Actions
background/wait/parallelstep keywords to run independent steps at the same time:reusable-standard.yml: install Boost in the background during Python/uv setup. After the build, run the Python tests, the interface test, and the setuptools helpers test in parallel. Pytest is single-threaded, so the compile-heavy tests use the idle cores. The Python tests now callpython -m pytestdirectly, because two concurrentcmake --buildcalls on one build tree are not safe.Measured against the previous master run, the parallel test group saves a median of 40 s per job on Linux, 48 s on macOS, and 94 s on Windows. Pytest alone is 30-56 s slower because it shares the CPU, but the group is still shorter. The Boost change saves only 2-6 s.
I also tried to download the NVHPC package during the disk cleanup. It saved only about 17 s because the download and the cleanup competed for disk I/O, so I removed it.
