CMake: use job pools to restrict number of concurrent compilers and linkers.

Browse Source 
When using Ninja build system, CMake can specify job pools for number of concurrent compilers
and concurrent linkers.  This PR employes the heuristic of max number of compilers as available
physical ram / 1 GiB and a single linker instance to prevent using excessive RAM.  Modern
linkers are multithreaded and should not be run concurrently due to risk of resource exhaustion.
