[FYI] {test-protocols} tests: avoid re-running a test with the 'parallel-tests' option

[Stefano Lattarini]

* tests/backcompat5.test (parallel_tests): Define to "no", to
prevent the generation of a sibling test script that uses the
'parallel-tests' driver.  That would be useless anyway, since
we manually override the contents of configure.in, thus clobbering
the `parallel-tests' option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
Fix a typo in comments since we are at it.
