    docs: Use make invocation's -j argument for parallelism · 29efbb24

    While sphinx 1.7 and later supports "-jauto" for parallelism, this
    effectively ignores the "-j" flag used in the "make" invocation, which
    may cause confusion for build systems. Instead, extract the available
    parallelism from "make"'s job server (since it is not exposed in any
    special variables) and use that for the "sphinx-build" run. Now things
    work correctly for builds where -j is specified at the top-level:
    
    	make -j16 htmldocs
    
    If -j is not specified, continue to fallback to "-jauto" if available.
