local.conf.sample: Add automatic defaults for BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE
Its rather sad that people don't appear to read local.conf and then complain
about slow builds when they're just using a single thread. Most systems have
more than one core now so we might as well use a more automatic default
for these values. This may lead to better experiences for new users.

# option determines how many tasks bitbake should run in parallel:
#
#BB_NUMBER_THREADS ?= "4"
+#
+# Default to setting automatically based on cpu count
+BB_NUMBER_THREADS ?= "${@oe.utils.cpu_count()}"

# The second option controls how many processes make should run in parallel when
# running compile tasks:
#
#PARALLEL_MAKE ?= "-j 4"
#
+# Default to setting automatically based on cpu count
+PARALLEL_MAKE ?= "-j ${@oe.utils.cpu_count()}"
+#
# For a quad-core machine, BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "4", PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j 4" would
# be appropriate for example.
