Make frontend fixtures parallel with knapsack

What does this MR do?

This MR enables the use of parallel jobs to generate frontend-fixtures, while also splitting the ee and non-ee fixtures in separate jobs.

Screenshots (strongly suggested)

This results in changes in the fixtures stage:

  • rspec frontend_fixture
  • rspec frontend_fixture as-if-foss
  • rspec-ee frontend_fixture, now run using parallel: 2.

Follow-up

I would like open a follow up to split up the slowest fixture ee/spec/frontend/fixtures/analytics.rb, so that parallel is used more efficiently.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
