options: change the default value for compaction threads to 8 (#169)

This is done through the deprecated `max_background_compactions` option,
which overrides `max_background_jobs`, so in order to avoid having an
adverse effect on users who set `max_background_jobs` to a high value
we try to detect that case and shift back to the user's choice in case
there are enough background jobs to be enough for both flushes and
compactions.
