Description
Noticed during #34778 that despite good coverage for the django-admin commands in tests/admin_scripts, the coverage report suggests only 12% coverage for django/core/management/templates.py.
This is because using coverage.py to trace code launched by a subprocess (and not through multiprocessing) requires additional configuration, e.g. adding code to sitecustomize.py or creating a .pth file.
Perhaps we could look into creating a tempdir with a .pth file to run the needed coverage.py configuration while running tests.

Setting as patch needs improvement since apparently the coverage config should set parallel to True.

Thanks for the review. Left a comment with what I found about the concurrency option taking the place of the parallel option.

Tentatively accepted (not sure if this is doable).
