Subject: [PATCH] Enable parallel test execution with Rake multitask

Changes:
- Use 'multitask' instead of 'task' for spec:all to run tests in parallel
- Run each RSpec suite in separate process with isolated environment
- Pass TARGET_HOST via environment variable per-process instead of globally

Performance improvement:
- Sequential execution: ~35 seconds
- Parallel execution: ~18 seconds
- Speedup: ~47% faster (nearly 2x)

This allows Node.js 20 and 22 Docker image tests to build and run
simultaneously, significantly reducing CI/CD pipeline time.
