gnu: openblas: Set 'NUM_THREADS'.

Until now, OpenBLAS would use at most the N threads, where N is the
number of cores that happened to be available on the build
machine (typically N=8).

* gnu/packages/maths.scm (openblas/fixed-num-threads): New variable.
(openblas)[replacement]: New field.
(openblas-ilp64): Use 'package/inherit'.
