Add parallel frontend to the build performance guide (#15970)
This extends the build performance guide in the Cargo book with the
parallel frontend. This is the first mechanism we have in the guide that
is not configured via profiles (unless we want to advertise setting
`rustflags` through profiles?), but rather through `RUSTFLAGS`. Which
means that we have to explain how to do that.

I proposed using footnotes for this, so that we can reuse them also for
other thing (such as explaining how to change a profile). An alternative
would be to have a short paragraph at the beginning of the configuration
subsection where we explain all the possible ways of configuring things,
and then we refer to them.

This is a follow up to #15924
