documentation/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.xml: multi-core update 

Added text suggesting that BB_NUMBER_THREADS be set to twice the number
of available processor cores and that PARALLEL_MAKE be set equal to the
number of processor cores.  Similar changes were made to local.conf
based on work by Josh.

(From yocto-docs rev: e342a4af4d3ba000b348bbb9d125977fc0e95273)

BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE to the number of processor cores on your build machine. BB_NUMBER_THREADS equal to twice the number of processor cores your system has.
And, set the variable PARALLEL_MAKE equal to the number of processor cores.
Setting these variables can significantly shorten your build time.
