Request to add the disable-parallel part property to the dotnet plugin. Labeled Needs information; the maintainer marked it extremely low priority pending a real-world use case, which has not been provided in 363 days.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The maintainer (author) explicitly stated this is 'extremely low priority until someone shows us a real-world use case,' and the 'Status: Needs information' label confirms it is waiting for that use case. 363 days have passed with zero comments and no use case provided, far beyond the 6-month threshold for closing an issue awaiting reporter input.

Impact: 15 Quick Win: 10.5 Staleness: 80 Complexity: 30 Confidence: 75 Support Request: 5

Issue body

### What needs to get done Support the [disable-parallel](https://canonical-craft-parts.readthedocs-hosted.com/latest/common/craft-parts/reference/part_properties/#disable-parallel) part property in the dotnet plugin. ### Why it needs to get done All of our plugins should theoretically support this. In practice though, this is extremely low priority until someone shows us a real-world use case for it. If someone can bring us a real-world use case that we can test against (especially a case of "this application simply does not build with parallel"), that would be ideal. The [autotools plugin](https://github.com/canonical/craft-parts/pull/1167) required this for OpenJDK builds, for example.
