Panu Matilainen d678a6a69f Cap number of threads on 32bit platforms (#1729382)
Also drop %_lto_cflags macro (reverted upstream) before people
start adapting its use.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Cap number of threads on 32bit platforms, add a tunable
(RhBug:1729382)
On 32bit plaforms, address space is easily exhausted with multiple
threads, causing arbitrary builds failure regressions (RhBug:1729382).
Simply cap the number of threads to maximum of four on any 32bit
platform to play it safe. It's still three more than we were able to
use on older releases...
In addition, introduce a separate tunable for tweaking the maximum
number of threads just in case, defaulting to max CPUs available.
