Fix Timeouts and Speed Up Jest on CI

If you have a large or complex test suite, running Jest on CI can make your build especially slow or cause timeouts. Luckily, Jest has an option cut out for this.

jest --runInBand

runInBand runs all tests serially inside the current process instead of creating a bunch workers. Using this option, we were able to trim suite time above 20mins down to less than 4 mins. 🏎️😎
