automatically set PARALLEL_JOBS when BR2_JLEVEL is 0
When BR2_JLEVEL is 0, set PARALLEL_JOBS to double the number of CPUs detected. This allows one to more or less fully utilize the host system without manually tuning the configuration. Also make 0 the default value for BR2_JLEVEL. Signed-off-by: Nathan Lynch <ntl@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
