Adds a --job_workers CLI option that controls the number of workers for Galaxy's local job runner. Defaults to 1 to run jobs sequentially, which avoids resource contention during testing. The value is configurable via CLI or global config for users who want parallel job execution. When a custom --job_config_file is provided, this option is ignored since the user manages their own config.
