Make Spec tests run in the UI thread to avoid concurrency issues.
The problem is more detailed in here: pharo-project/pharo#12502
Problem summary: during the test run in the CI, tests and morphic run in separate tests.
Thus, a test might change a graphic element during the morphic ui draw and break it.
If an exception happens in a thread other than the test thread, the process quits and stops the test run with an unexpected outcome.
