installpkg: allow xz to use all the available CPU threads.
makepkg: by default, allow xz to determine how many threads to use. However,
on 32-bit platforms default to 2 threads since we were using this before. If
allowed to decide, xz seems to only want to use a single thread on 32-bit.
ap/nano-7.2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
ap/sudo-1.9.12p2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a flaw in sudo's -e option (aka sudoedit) that could allow
a malicious user with sudoedit privileges to edit arbitrary files.
