TESTING: CircleCI: force -j8 in make subtasks through CPUS=8, so that…

… we respect guaranteed minimal resource allocation of CircleCI being 8Gb. Will slow down builds.... Reasoning: - t480 depends on coreboot 24.12, which in turn depends on gcc 14.2 and consumes more memory through parallelization of CircleCI builds which randomly fails if CircleCI is under load and minimal guaranteed memory assignment is 8gb. Failsafe which might break builds because 8 tasks max is imposed here by CPUS=8. TODO: reevaluate if builds take too long and timeouts on max 1h build time per step.
