Documentation missing for autotools plugin's disable_parallel option. PR #1631 opened to address this, currently under review with unresolved comments.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: PR #1631 is actively addressing this documentation gap and is currently under review with two unresolved comments from a reviewer. The issue has maintainer acknowledgment (lengau transferred it to craft-parts) and a contributor has opened a fix. Keeping it open allows the PR to be completed.

Issue body

*Please describe the question or issue you're facing with "Autotools plugin - Snapcraft 9.0 documentation".* I tried to understand if the autotools plugin uses parallel builds. But this information is lacking. There is even an option [disable_parallel](https://github.com/canonical/craft-parts/blob/bbc6f9f163be0f95e9c3fd99dba170d725e783ce/craft_parts/plugins/autotools_plugin.py#L113) which is not described. Please, describe the option. --- *Reported from: https://documentation.ubuntu.com/snapcraft/stable/common/craft-parts/reference/plugins/autotools_plugin/
