validate.sh: --jobs should default to nproc

If `nproc` is available and `--jobs` is not given, this will use the
output of `nproc` as the value for `--jobs`.

Otherwise, the old default value of 4 will be used and a warning will be
printed.

The default value of 4 has remained unchanged since it was added in
6a9a101 in 2018; that may have been a
reasonable number of cores then, but my development machine today has 20
cores, so setting the parallelism to 4 leaves a lot of performance on
the table!
