Subject: [PATCH] image: Honor parallel job count for the number of qemu-img
 co-routines used.

This doesn't seem to change anything currently (the default is 8).  Perhaps
useful in the future, for example if the compressor used by qemu-img starts
honoring it.

* gnu/build/image.scm (convert-disk-image): Specify the '-m' option.
