Merge bitcoin#21942: docs: improve make with parallel jobs description.

07bc22e docs: improve make with parallel jobs description. (Klement Tan) Pull request description: Changed `use -jX here for parallelism` to `use "-j N" for N parallel jobs` **Rationale**: In my opinion `use -jX here for parallelism` is quite ambiguous as it could be perceived as a single option without any argument. Ie running: ```sh make -jX ``` Embarrassingly this caused me to be stuck for quite a long time until I opened the help menu for `make` but if I am the only one who faced this issue I would be happy to close this PR.
