tt in `configure-qiskit-local` (#1430)

There are some very small formatting issues in
https://docs.quantum.ibm.com/start/configure-qiskit-local . Nothing
terrible, it was just easy to fix than to report them.

Specify an integer greater than zero.
- RAYON_NUM_THREADS: The number of threads to run multithreaded operations in Qiskit. By default, multithreaded code launches a thread for each logical CPU. To adjust the number of threads Qiskit uses, set this to an integer value. For example, setting RAYON_NUM_THREADS=4 launches four threads for multithreaded functions. - `RAYON_NUM_THREADS`: The number of threads to run multithreaded operations in Qiskit. By default, multithreaded code launches a thread for each logical CPU. To adjust the number of threads Qiskit uses, set this to an integer value. For example, setting RAYON_NUM_THREADS=4 launches four threads for multithreaded functions.
- QISKIT_FORCE_THREADS: Specifies that multithreaded code should always execute in multiple threads. By default, if you're running multithreaded code in a section of Qiskit that is already running in parallel processes, Qiskit does not launch multiple threads but instead executes that function serially. This is done to avoid potentially overloading limited CPU resources. However, if you want to force the use of multiple threads even when in a multiprocess context, set QISKIT_FORCE_THREADS=TRUE. - `QISKIT_FORCE_THREADS`: Specifies that multithreaded code should always execute in multiple threads.
