reduce build parallelism

Vladimír Čunát requested to merge vcunat/adwaita-icon-theme:p/reduce-build-parallelism into master

The nested for-loops spawned child processes in an unbounded fashion, so let's wait at the end of each inner loop as a compromise. On my Linux 16-threaded machine the whole build process gets slowed down by this from 43 seconds to 64; sounds OK to me.

This should avoid repeated failures we now keep seeing elsewhere

install-sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable

The parallelism was introduced in commit a2f3046d (MR !39 (merged)).
