The Tap 14 specification explicitly allows for out-of-order Test Points, which means we do not need to use --keep-order. The primary benefit of doing this is that users will get more feedback during long test runs as to whether tests are passing or not.
Technically, Tap 13 didn't disallow out-of-order Test Points (and implies they are allowed) but at the time of implementing "bats -j" support this wasn't clear enough to justify the risk of producing spec-invalid output.
Fixes: da65d1b ("bats: add support for parallel job execution with GNU parallel")
