documentation: BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE suggestions
Text that suggests setting the BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE variables to speed build time has been updated to suggest a setting of twice the number of host cores supported. The 2x number came to light through a discussion on the project mailing list initiated by Robert P. J. Day. Reported-by: Robert P. J.
