test: pin the number of CPU for issue4074 tests

On machine with an hundreds of CPUs, the "user" CPU time reported can be
inflated by the status steps. Since the test especially focus on the diff
computation, we restrict the number of CPU to avoid potential issues.

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
