[CMake] Setting default make options for Makefiles generator

[Kito Berg-Taylor]

I would like to second this idea, because it would solve another problem

Not to mention that being able to set the default to -j4 would be useful
for internal projects where it's known that all machines building the
project will have uniform hardware specifications.
