Summary:
The number of threads used for ThinLTO backend parallelism was
dropped to the number of cores in r284618 to avoid oversubscribing
physical cores due to hyperthreading. This updates the documentation
to reflect that change.
Fixes PR38610.

The default limit is 1000000 but it can be configured with a cache
policy. The motivation is that some filesystems (notably ext4) have
a limit on the number of files that can be contained in a directory
(separate from the inode limit).

This is useful when an upper limit on the cache size needs to be
controlled independently of the amount of the amount of free space.
One use case is a machine with a large number of cache directories
(e.g. a buildbot slave hosting a large number of independent build
jobs). By imposing an upper size limit on each cache directory,
users can more easily estimate the server's capacity.
