New description:

 With the attached patches, along with the changes from #11959, the various
 parallel aspects of Sage should be controlled by setting the `-j` flag in
 `MAKE`.  That is, if `MAKE='make -j16'`, then

  - running `make` will build spkg's in parallel, using 16 processes (this
 was done in #11959)

  - running `make ptestlong` or `sage -tp 0 <files>` will doctest in
 parallel using 16 threads.  If the `-j` flag in `MAKE` is not set, then
 determine the number of threads as before: `min(8, cpu_count())`.

  - TODO: running `./sage -b` will build the Sage library using 16 threads.
 If the `-j` flag in `MAKE` is not set, then use only 1 thread.

 In #6495, we should implement the same behavior for doc building.

 '''Apply''':
  1. [attachment:12016-root.v2.patch] to the `SAGE_ROOT` repository.
  1. [attachment:12016-scripts.v2.patch] to the `SCRIPTS` repository.
  1. [attachment:12016-sage.v2.patch] to the Sage library.
