Log Message:  
Make more tests run in GA

Makes even more tests run in GA.

All of these were motivated by a pass through jenkins logs, identifying individual tests that ran in jenkins but not GA.

Primary changes

- make sure futures run in the same configs
- add gasnet quickstart
- make sure spectests are built and tested
- remove unnecessary skipifs
- make sure tests that have external dependencies have them (done in [Add a bunch of new CI dependencies to enable more testing by jabraham17 · Pull Request #29648 · chapel-lang/chapel · GitHub](https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/pull/29648))
  - and fix hdf5 skipif/compopts

- unrelated to GA, but fixes paratest to also look for .cpp test files like start\_test does
