The rename the "n" variable added in c553c72eed6 (run-command: add an
asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) to "jobs", and
change the type to an "unsigned int". As we'll see in a subsequent
commit we do pass "0" here, but never "jobs < 0".

The only users of the "jobs" parameter are:

 * builtin/fetch.c: defaults to 1, reads from the "fetch.parallel"
   config. As seen in the code that parses the config added in
   d54dea77dba (fetch: let --jobs=<n> parallelize --multiple, too,
   2019-10-05) will die if the git_config_int() return value is < 0.

   It will however pass us jobs = 0, as we'll see in a subsequent
   commit.

 * submodule.c: defaults to 1, reads from "submodule.fetchJobs"
   config. Read via code originally added in a028a1930c6 (fetching
   submodules: respect `submodule.fetchJobs` config option, 2016-02-29).

   It now piggy-backs on the the submodule.fetchJobs code and
   validation added in f20e7c1ea24 (submodule: remove
   submodule.fetchjobs from submodule-config parsing, 2017-08-02).

   Like builtin/fetch.c it will die if the git_config_int() return
   value is < 0, but like builtin/fetch.c it will pass us jobs = 0.

 * builtin/submodule--helper.c: defaults to 1. Read via code
   originally added in 2335b870fa7 (submodule update: expose parallelism
   to the user, 2016-02-29).

   Since f20e7c1ea24 (submodule: remove submodule.fetchjobs from
   submodule-config parsing, 2017-08-02) it shares a config parser and
   semantics with the submodule.c caller.

 * hook.c: hardcoded to 1, see 96e7225b310 (hook: add 'run'
   subcommand, 2021-12-22).

 * t/helper/test-run-command.c: can be -1 after parsing the arguments,
   but will then be overridden to online_cpus() before passing it to
   this API. See be5d88e1128 (test-tool run-command: learn to run (parts
   of) the testsuite, 2019-10-04).

Should we normalize what we call processes/jobs/tasks? They all
seem to mean the same thing. I'm leaning towards processes
since the function name itself is run_processes_parallel.

Also should "jobs" be changed to "max_jobs" or whatever normalized name
we call it? The comment here can then be changed to:
"Runs up to 'max_processes' at the same time."

I'm afraid I think this commit is a complete waste of reviewers time. As 
far as I con see in a later commit all the changes here are rewritten. 
Why do we need to go from n -> jobs -> opts->jobs rather than just n -> 
opts->jobs later.

Best Wishes

Phillip
