 Fix ASSERT failure and re-enable setnumcapabilities001

 The assertion failure was fairly benign, I think, but this fixes it.
 I've been running the test repeatedly for the last 30 mins and it hasn't
 triggered.

 There are other problems exposed by this test (see #12038), but I've
 worked around those in the test itself for now.

 I also copied the relevant bits of the parallel library here so that we
 don't need parallel for the test to run.

 (cherry picked from commit cfc5df43a7789832a2789e517d8270650cc31b7f)
