N-processor systems without fear of overload.
Patch provided by Sven C. Dack <sven.c.dack@sky.com>
* Makefiles can now specify the '-j' option in their MAKEFLAGS variable and
this will cause make to enable that parallelism mode.
* GNU make will now use pthread_spawn() on systems where it is available.
It will select POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK where that is available. If you prefer
to use fork/exec even on systems where pthread_spawn() is present, you can
use the --disable-pthread-spawn option to configure.
Aron Barath <baratharon@caesar.elte.hu> provided the basic implementation.
* Error messages printed when invoking non-existent commands have been cleaned
up and made consistent.
* The previous limit of 63 jobs under -jN on MS-Windows is now
increased to 4095. That limit includes the subprocess started by
the $(shell) function.

* Rework the source distribution to move source files into the src/*
subdirectory. This aligns with modern best practices in GNU.
* Replace local portability code with Gnulib content. Unfortunately due to a
problem with Gnulib support for getloadavg, this forces a requirement on
Automake 1.16 or above in order to build from Git. See README.git.
