gnu: openblas: Set 'NUM_THREADS'.
Until now, OpenBLAS would use at most the N threads, where N is the number of cores that happened to be available on the build machine (typically N=8). * gnu/packages/maths.scm (openblas/fixed-num-threads): New variable. (openblas)[replacement]: New field. (openblas-ilp64): Use 'package/inherit'.
