https://github.com/Zygo/bees/issues/91 describes problems encountered
when running bees on systems with many CPU cores.
Limit the computed number of threads (using --thread-factor or the
default) to a maximum of 8 (i.e. the number of logical cores in a modern
laptop). Users can override the limit by using --thread-count.

options.md was a disorganized mess that markdown couldn't parse properly.
Break the options list down into sections by theme. Add the new
'--workaround-btrfs-send' option to the new 'Workarounds' section.
Clean up the rest of the text and fix some inconsistencies.

Split the rather large README into smaller sections with a pitch and
a ToC at the top.
Move the sections into docs/ so that Github Pages can read them.
'make doc' produces a local HTML tree.
Update the kernel bugs and gotchas list.
Add some information that has been accumulating in Github comments.
Remove information about bugs in kernels earlier than 4.14.
