[MPMD-413] Add support for configuring the max number of threads to use

[jira-importer]

Joseph Leonard opened MPMD-413 and commented

Background

Currently it doesn't seem to be possible to configure the number of threads that the plugin should utilise and therefore it defaults to the number of available processors.

This can be impactful if you don't wish to allow the plugin to make use of all your processors. In our scenario this is particularly impactful because we are running a heavily parallelised multi-project monobuild and therefore we don't want each parallel module build to attempt use the same number of threads as available processors.

Improvement request

It would be nice if we could add the ability to configure the number of threads via the plugin.
