libdpkg: Decrease xz encoder threads to not exceed memory limits
Automatically decrease xz encoder threads to try to not exceed available
memory limits. This should alleviated the insane requirements of memory
needed on 32-bit architectures with many cores, which results in more
than the userspace addressable memory, when using settings such as
-z9 and/or -Sextreme in dpkg-deb.
Closes: #846564
