This script (intended to be invoked by autoninja or autoninja.bat) detects
whether a build is using goma. If so it runs with a large -j value, and
otherwise it chooses a small one. This auto-adjustment makes using goma simpler
and safer, and avoids errors that can cause slow goma builds or swap-storms
on non-goma builds.
