[RFC PATCH] bitbake.conf: Start using parallel make for do_install

[Richard Purdie]

Most piece of software now support parallel make install. Enable
this by default using the value of PARALLEL_MAKE. In a similar way
to PARALLEL_MAKE we can disable this for broken recipes with:

PARALLEL_MAKEINST = ""
