Creating a multiprocessing Pool with too many processes can hit
ValueError exceptions or hangs or both. The number that counts as "too
many" depends on the Python version so this change uses 56 as a
guaranteed safe limit.

Note that this only avoids the issue if an explicit jobs count is not
passed in.

I updated 2.15/index.rst and put the same content in 2.14/index.rst - I hope that is as desired.

I also made the requested comment change (I didn't see the button to do it from the pull request until I'd already done it on my machine).

I move the changelog to the 2.14.4 section as that will be the release this will be available in. Should have been clearer about that!

Thanks a lot @randomascii 😄
