#6283: [with patches, needs review] Make it so NUM_THREADS is set intelligently
instead of idiotically in makefile so doing "make ptest" or "make
ptestlong" doesn't kill some computers

Comment(by jhpalmieri):

 Replying to [comment:3 ddrake]:
 > Hrm, I just checked on T2, and multiprocessing.cpu_count() returns 128
 on that machine, which perhaps is not ideal. The whole issue of
 cpus/cores/threads is really complicated -- see our own drkirkby. I think
 we can ignore this issue for the moment, since Sage doesn't even really
 build on T2.

 I'm happy to ignore this.  If it returns the "wrong" number, that seems
 like a bug in Python.

 I don't have access to many different kinds of machines.  Should we ask
 people on sage-devel to test {{{multiprocessing.cpu_count()}}}?
