* src/job.c (load_too_high): Re-enable Linux /proc/loadavg checks.

Further experimentation shows that my previous thinking that there
was a problem using this was woefully mistaken.  The value generated
by the kernel shows runn*ABLE* processes not runn*ING* processes.
* NEWS: Announce the change.

* New feature: Improved support for -l / --load-average
On systems that provide /proc/loadavg (Linux), GNU make will use it to
determine the number of runnable jobs and use this as the current load,
avoiding the need for heuristics.
Implementation provided by Sven C. Dack <sdack@gmx.com>
* If the MAKEFLAGS variable is modified in a makefile, it will be re-parsed
immediately rather than after all makefiles have been read. Note that
although all options are parsed immediately, some special effects won't

On systems which provide /proc/loadavg (e.g., Linux), we use an idea

of processes the kernel is running and, if it's greater than the requested

The system load average is only recomputed once every N (N>=1) seconds.
