stupid output of sage -br: "using n cpus"

[williamstein]

I just noticed that when we do "sage -br" with "export MAKE='make -j3'" on a 2-core machine we get:

steragon-2:sage-3.3.alpha0 wstein$ sage -br
...
Execute 4 commands (using 3 cpus)

Note the "3 cpus", which looks really dumb, since I have only 1 cpu in my laptop, and it has 2 cores. To fix this bug change "cpus" to "threads". That's it!

this is against sage-3.3.alpha0

Attachment: trac_5034.patch.gz

The attached patch is just a textual substitution of "threads" for "cpus".

Of course, "threads" is also technically incorrect; "processes" would be more accurate.
