Support "default" option for build.jobs

This commit adds support for passing the keyword "default"
to either the CLI "--jobs" argument on the "[build.jobs]"
section of ".cargo/config".

This is dony by:
  1. Changing the "jobs" config type to an enum that holds
     a String or an Integer(i.e. i32).
  2. Matching the enum & casting it to an integer
