Revert "Merge pull request JuliaLang/julia#38405 from JuliaLang/vc/distributed_ts" (JuliaLang/julia#41722)

Also reverts "fixup to pull request JuliaLang/julia#38405 (JuliaLang/julia#41641)"

Seems to be causing hanging in CI testing.

This reverts commit 740a33a and this
reverts commit 5a1680533b461471f537f5f5d4ee3c2866b21e1f, reversing
changes made to 02807b279a5e6d5acaeb7095e4c0527e2a5c190e.
