Limit the number of forks getting Java versions #41386

To reduce configuration time, we fork some threads to compute the Java version for the various configured Javas. However, as the number of JAVA${N}_HOME variable increases, the current implementation creates as many threads as there are such variables, which could be more than the number of physical cores on the machine. It is not likely that we would see benefits to trying to execute all of these once beyond the number of physical cores (maybe simultaneous multi-threading helps though, who knows. Therefore, this commit limits the parallelization here to the number number of physical cores.
