dev-manual, ref-manual, yocto-project-qs: Updates to parallelism variables
The way the old manual set had worded the use of the BB_NUMBER_THREADS, PARALLEL_MAKE, and BB_NUMBER_PARSE_THREADS had become depricated. It suggested a lot of user intervention to get these variables set to have the build system utilize optimal parallelism. The change a while back to the build system where the variables are set to the number of build host cores now makes the variables automatically be set to their best values. I have gone through the manual set and changed wordings appropriately to reflect this. Reported-by: Robert P. J.
