Remove -j option from simple-build-testing
By default Nix/NixOS already set a reasonable default `max-jobs = auto` so we don't need to mention it in this tutorial. The option is still documented in other parts of the documentation if users ever stumble over this. Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2531

So it is always safe to run multiple instances of Nix in parallel
