dotnet (v2) plugin: Support `disable-parallel` parameter
Metadata
Current evaluation
dotnet v2 ignores disable-parallel, but maintainers labeled it Needs information and requested a real-world failure case; none was provided in 395 days.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The request is explicitly labeled Needs information, and the maintainer called it extremely low priority pending a reproducible real-world use case, which remains absent. The current v2 property model lacks disable_parallel, so implementation likely requires adding it and translating it into an appropriate MSBuild parameter such as MaxCpuCount, but the exact expected behavior and regression case need confirmation.

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.
