parser: Add the ability to turn off jobs to ease with debugging

Browse Source 
The parser currently uses a fork model to do job processing. For
consistency even when the number of jobs is set to 1 a single
work process is forked. However this makes using gdb more difficult
and can be even worse for other debugging tools.

Make -j 0 disable all job spawning so all processing happens in the
main process.
