[Lazarus] Need Testers: parallel compilation

[patspiper]

A very welcome feature. It improved the IDE build cycle time from 90s to 
60s in my setup (including linking)!

Regarding the cpu cores, it says default(4). I suppose the 4 is system 
dependent.

I agree with Vojtěch regarding the placement of the option. The 
'Configure build lazarus' is a more suitable place.
