DavHau fb5e22e318 build-cores: detect cores automatically if set to 0
This changes makes nix detect a machines available cores automatically whenever build-cores is set to 0.

So far, nix simply passed NIX_BUILD_CORES=0 whenever build-cores is set to 0. (only when build-cores is unset it was detecting cores automatically)

The behavior of passing NIX_BUILD_CORES=0 leads to a performance penalty when sourcing nixpkgs' generic builder's `setup.sh`, as setup.sh has to execute `nproc`. This significantly slows down sourcing of setup.sh
