build: Disable libstdc++ TBB backend to avoid unnecessary dependency

boost::concurrent_flat_map (used in libutil and libstore) includes the
C++17 <execution> header. GCC's libstdc++ implements parallel algorithms
using Intel TBB as the backend, which creates a link-time dependency on
libtbb even though we don't actually use any parallel algorithms.

Disable the TBB backend for libstdc++ by setting
_GLIBCXX_USE_TBB_PAR_BACKEND=0. This makes parallel algorithms fall back
to serial execution, which is acceptable since we don't use them anyway.

This only affects libstdc++ (GCC's standard library); other standard
libraries like libc++ (LLVM) are unaffected.
