These tests are intended to catch issues in upgrading HGE. However:
* the tests are very convoluted and hard to understand,
* we can only run a small subset of Python tests that don't mutate any data or metadata, and
* I have never seen them fail for a legitimate reason, but I've seen a lot of flakes.
While we do believe it's important to test that upgrades don't break the stored introspection, these tests don't seem to be doing that any more. I humbly request that we delete them now and either (a) figure out how to test this properly, or (b) just wait for v3, which does away with reintrospecting on server startup entirely.

When running using the "new" style (with a HGE binary, not a URL), a new PostgreSQL metadata and source database are created for each test. When we get this into CI, this should drastically reduce the flakiness.
I have also enabled parallelization by default when using `run-new.sh`. It's much faster.
I had to basically rewrite _server/tests-py/test_graphql_read_only_source.py_ so that it does two different things depending on how it's run. It's unfortunate, but it should eventually go away.

I'm trying to shore up the Python integration tests to make them more reliable. In doing so, I noticed this.

It feels a lot more sensible as we never run on more than one backend at a time.
This also removes the `check_file_exists` parameter from the setup functions; it never worked. It was always set to the result of a comparison between a backend name and a function, which was always `False`. Enabling it breaks things.
