Broader Parallelism in Kurtosis Starlark: Beyond Just Service Launching

[fraVlaca]

Not just for launching services, but also for running setup commands. In complex distributed systems, many steps are independent and don’t require sequential execution. Allowing parallel execution for these would significantly improve Kurtosis’ deployment efficiency and scripting capabilities - strengthening its core deployment-focused USP.

I guess if the configs are embedded in the container’s startup command, that could serve as a workaround to run things in parallel when adding services.

But in more complex setups and Starlark scripts, there are often steps that would benefit significantly from parallel execution - especially when working with large or distributed systems.
