clangd: use -j for background index pool

Summary:
clangd supports a -j option to limit the amount of threads to use for parsing
TUs. However, when using -background-index (the default in later versions of
clangd), the parallelism used by clangd defaults to the hardware_parallelisn,
i.e. number of physical cores.

On shared hardware environments, with large projects, this can significantly
affect performance with no way to tune it down.

This change makes the -j parameter apply equally to parsing and background
index. It's not perfect, because the total number of threads is 2x the -j value,
which may still be unexpected. But at least this change allows users to prevent
clangd using all CPU cores.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and runtime environments.
