"failfast" (from -G) is passed directly to unittest.TextTestRunner
(see test/support/__init__.py:_run_suite()).  However, that's on a
per-process basis.  When running with -j, each test (test case?) is
run in a separate process.  Unless the processes are sharing some
state (which I didn't see), any existing processes will run to
completion.  Furthermore, I don't know if the "pending" tests are
cleared out under "failfast", but it doesn't look like it.
