Description

While starting multiple VMs in parallel is unsafe in general (see https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/issues/1354) it'd be really nice to have a way to 🤞🏻, 🙏🏻 and do it anyway. As long as all VMs are created already it should be safe to start them in parallel. So my idea is to add a parallel=true kind of parameter to the lima::cluster::start plan.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing `lima::cluster::start` plan implementation in the Puppet module. Add a `parallel` parameter that defaults to `false`. Implement logic to start VMs in parallel when set to `true`.
