This matches a similar cap on the number of automatic threads
in libavcodec/pthread_slice.c.
On systems with lots of cores, this does speed things up in
general (measurable on the level of the runtime of running
"make fate"), and fixes a couple fate failures in 32 bit mode on
such machines (where spawning a huge number of threads runs
out of address space).
