[PATCH v3 5/5] CI: don't run "make test" twice in one job

The "linux-clang" and "linux-gcc" jobs both run "make test" twice, but with different environment variables. Running these in sequence seems to have been done to work around some constraint on Travis, see ae59a4e44f3 (travis: run tests with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX, 2018-01-07).

By having these run in parallel we'll get jobs that finish much sooner than they otherwise would have.

We can also simplify the control flow in "ci/run-build-and-tests.sh" as a result, since we won't run "make test" twice we don't need to run "make" twice at all, let's default to "make all test" after setting the variables, and then override it to just "all" for the compile-only tests.
