install-multi-user: reduce max-jobs from 32 to 1
Having max-jobs = 32 ($NIX_USER_COUNT is hardcoded to that value) may
severely overload the machine. The nix.conf(5) manual page says max-jobs
defaults to 1, so let's use that value.

NOTE: Both max-jobs and cores are now being set to their default value,
so they can be removed alltogether.
