Description (last modified by jdemeyer)

There are several independent implementations in Sage to determine the number of threads or processors for a parallel computation. Instead, these should be one way to do that and it should support the environment variable SAGE_NUM_THREADS, which is precisely meant for that.

On top of that, doctests should never use too many threads. So we set SAGE_NUM_THREADS=2 while doctesting, analogous to #23892.

This fixes doctests in:

  • parallel map/reduce
  • cryptominisat
