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.
