run-tests: add more scheduling weight hints

The scheduler would like to order test execution by expected run-time,
but doesn't know much about how long a test will run. It thus uses
test size as a proxy for run-time. By tweaking these weights we can
keep CPUs more evenly busy and thus finish sooner.

In particular, this change pushes the three currently longest-running
tests closer to the beginning:

test-largefiles-update.t
test-run-tests.t
test-gendoc.t

As the largefiles test is currently the long pole of the test suite
with higher -j factors, the sooner it's started, the sooner the tests
can end.

We also up the weight on some shorter but long-running tests that
could have previously delayed completion with low -j factors by
running very close to the end.

# Usage:
#   seq STOP              [1, STOP] stepping by 1
#   seq START STOP        [START, STOP] stepping by 1
#   seq START STEP STOP   [START, STOP] stepping by STEP
