It seems like some substantial refactoring will be required before a single
implementation is possible, anyway.

One idea that might be worth exploring is to have trial without `--jobs` be
equivalent to `trial --jobs=1` (with no degradation in functionality).
This would be one way to remove one of the two programs in trial.

Thanks.  That is so succinct that it seems worth landing quickly and
dealing with any further factoring improvements to trial separately.  I
took the liberty of pushing a test for the fix and a news fragment.

Sadly this pushes the total line count of the diff above 10 ... but only to
11.  I hope someone is available for a prompt review.  If any non-committer
wants to start learning how to get involved in Twisted development, this is
a great ticket / PR to jump in with - the code change itself is very
simple, leaving plenty of attention for learning the process.
