How about we just make py-joblib return 1, always?

We already have a system of command-line arguments like `make -j42'
and make/environment variables like MAKE_JOBS=42 to configure how many
jobs a program should try to use.  It's better for programs to respect
that than to rummage around and try to find extra CPU resources
they're not supposed to be using -- maybe it's better to discourage
those shenanigans.
