Commit Message

Laszlo Ersek April 9, 2019, 11 p.m. UTC 
The edk2 "build" utility natively supports building modules (that is, INF
files) in parallel. The feature is not useful when building a single
module (with the "-m" option), but it is useful for platform firmware
builds (which include many modules). Add a function that determines the
"-n" option argument for "build", from the MAKEFLAGS variable (i.e. based
on the presence of a make job server).
