SetupTsMonGlobalState uses an option 'short-lived'. Defined here: cs/chromeos_public/chromite/lib/ts_mon_config.py?l=45

Ostensibly, this means, as it says in the docstring:
>    short_lived: Whether this process is short-lived and should use the autogen
>                 hostname prefix.

But in practice this is actually appropriate specifically for processes that run in parallel, and, for example, a simple single-threaded cron job which takes ~10 minutes is not an appropriate use-case for the option.

So its name should be changed. Probably to 'is-parallel' or 'allow-parallel'.
