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.
- However, if you have a multi-core CPU you might want to uncomment
- 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.
+ Doing so can significantly shorten your build time.
