VE supports up to 64 threads per a VE process.  So, we limit the number of threads defined by KMP_MAX_NTH.  We also modify the __kmp_sys_max_nth initialization to use KMP_MAX_NTH as a limit.

Subject: [PATCH] [OpenMP][VE] Limit the number of threads to create

VE supports up to 64 threads per a VE process.  So, we limit the number
of threads defined by KMP_MAX_NTH.  We also modify the __kmp_sys_max_nth
initialization to use KMP_MAX_NTH as a limit.
