Update documentation for the default value of main set worker-threads
Commit Message
From: Christian Biesinger <cbiesinger@google.com>
I forgot to update this documentation when I changed the default for
maint set worker-threads to be 0. This is a branch-only change, because
on trunk this has been changed back to unlimited.
OK for branch? Let me know if I need to file a bug report for this.
