nixos: default nix.maxJobs to auto

Browse source 
Instead of making the configuration less portable by hard coding the number of
jobs equal to the cores we can also let nix set the same number at runtime.

This option defines the maximum number of jobs that Nix will try
to build in parallel. The default is 1. You should generally
set it to the total number of logical cores in your system (e.g., 16
for two CPUs with 4 cores each and hyper-threading).
