genboardscfg: limit to 240 jobs
When genboardscfg.py is run on machines with 255 or more cores, the process will consume more than 1024 file descriptors, which is a common standard ulimit for user processes. As a consequence it will fail with a lenghty Python trace, with the almost hidden message: OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files It's somewhat questionable whether that level of parallelity is actually useful for genboardscfg, so we limit the *default* number of jobs to the safe number of 240, to avoid the problem. If a user persists, she can still force a higher number via the -j parameter - hopefully having raised the ulimit accordingly beforehand.
