[Trott]

Move test/parallel/test-worker-message-port-transfer-closed.js to
sequential to avoid race condition with setTimeout() at end of test.

Fixes: #21892

Hm – if I may offer an alternative?

This removes the timeout too, but we can keep the test in parallel this way…

@addaleax SGTM. Do you want to open a PR for that change? Or would you prefer I put it into this one and move it back to parallel here? I'm fine either way, of course.

[addaleax]

@Trott either one is fine :)

Updated with @addaleax's suggestion.
