Add --parallel option.
This patch adds --parallel option that enables parallel builds and does not
impose limits on maximum concurrent processes. --max-parallel (that implies
--parallel) can be used to specify that maximum limit.
Also make necessary adjustments to debhelper.pod and buildsystem_tests for
this option.
