dotnet (v2) plugin: Support `disable-parallel` parameter
Metadata
Current evaluation
Enhancement to add the disable-parallel part property to the dotnet v2 plugin, mirroring the autotools plugin. Labeled Needs information; maintainer awaits a real-world use case. No comments or activity in 363 days; feature still absent from the plugin at HEAD.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is labeled 'Status: Needs information' and the maintainer explicitly states it is 'extremely low priority until someone shows us a real-world use case'; 363 days have passed with 0 comments and no use case provided, far exceeding the 6-month threshold for unresponded information requests. The dotnet plugin at HEAD still lacks the property, so it can be closed and reopened if a concrete use case (e.g. a dotnet app that fails parallel builds) ever surfaces.

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 v2 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.
