This is already implemented in nightly as far as I can tell. If it
weren't, we shouldn't add it, even if planned.

(By the way, could you please add Link tags for those URLs?)

+config RUSTC_HAS_JOBS
+       def_bool $(rustc-option,-j8)
+
+config RUSTC_HAS_ZTHREADS
+       def_bool $(rustc-option,-Zthreads=8)

We can simplify using `RUSTC_VERSION` for these like we do elsewhere.
