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

Browse Source 
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.

(From yocto-docs rev: 2069c96d2410605c089da4eede2c7b4f9a7b704a)
