Pádraig Brady 0e181024c0 sort: use at most 8 threads by default ...

* src/sort.c (main): If --parallel isn't specified,
restrict the number of threads to 8 by default.
If the --parallel option is specified, then
allow any number of threads to be set, independent
of the number of processors on the system.
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document the changes
to determining the number of threads to use.
Mention the memory overhead when using multiple threads.
* tests/misc/sort-spinlock-abuse: Allow single core
systems that support pthreads.
* tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: Likewise.
* tests/misc/sort-unique-segv: Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behaviour.
