ci: Use multiple codegen units on non-dist bots

This commit is yet another attempt to bring down our cycle times by
parallelizing some of the long-and-serial parts of the build, for example
optimizing the libsyntax, librustc, and librustc_driver crate. The hope is that
any perf loss from codegen units is more than made up for with the perf gain
from using multiple codegen units.

The value of 16 codegen units here is pretty arbitrary, it's basically just a
number which hopefully means that the cores are always nice and warm.
