Add methods to skip the building and execution of Ninja by python
in order to allow Make to execute Ninja after the configure script.
This allows the user to build Ninja only once
if they already have an older version of Ninja built.
It also allows the user to test the jobserver functionality
by having Ninja built twice (clean then compile).

ninja is faster at building cmake packages than make, and according to reports
also more reliable at handling parallel builds
This commit includes a patch that adds GNU make jobserver support, in order to
allow more precise control over the number of parallel tasks
Enable parallel build by default for packages using ninja
