Speed LTO builds by using multiple threads
On my i5-1235U laptop this speeds LTO "partition=balanced" builds
substantially, because each "partition" can be run on a separate
CPU thread. I used "pygamer" as my test build with a parallelism of
`-j4`, and took the best elapsed time reported over 4 builds.

The improvement was from 34.6s to 24.0s (-30%).

A link-only build (rm build-pygamer/firmware.elf; make -j...) improved
from1 17.4s to 5.1s (-70%)

The size of the resulting firmware is unchanged.

Boards that are nearly full use "-flto-partition=one" to improve code
size optimization. When LTO partition is "one", this feature doesn't help
but it doesn't seem to negatively affect anything either (tested
building trinket_m0)

**CircuitPython** is a *beginner friendly*, open source version of Python for tiny, inexpensive
computers called microcontrollers.

This package contains the "stubs", or type definitions for CircuitPython.  With some advanced
editors and other tools, this information can be identify TypeErrors, AttributeErrors, and other
problems before you deploy your code to a device and can even help autocomplete your code.
