yocto-project-qs, ref-manual: Fixed core number defaults

Fixes [YOCTO #2528]

The defaults for BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE are now
automatically set to the build host's number of processor cores.
I updated the "Building and Image" section in the Quick Start
to state that.  I also updated the PARALLEL_MAKE variable.

-             By default, these variables are commented out.

-             the lines and set both variables equal to twice the number of your
-             host's processor cores.
-             Setting these variables can significantly shorten your build time.
+             By default, these variables are set to how ever many processor
+             cores your build host uses.
+             However, if your build host uses multiple processor cores,
+             you should increase these settings to twice the number of
+             cores used.
