Post by Etienne BuiraThreads count being defaulted to 0 (autodetect), and --disable-pthreads
build checking that thread count==1, there were spurious warnings about
threads being ignored, despite not specified on command line/conf.
Fixes tests 5521 and 5526 that were broken in --disable-pthreads builds
because of those warnings.

I am not sure if this is the right fix.
Shouldn't a --threads=0 from the command line (when there is a
pack.threads configuration hardcoding some number to override it)
give a chance to the auto detection codepath to ask online_cpus()
and receive 1 on NO_PTHREADS build to avoid triggering the same
warning you are squelching with this patch?
That is, something like this instead, perhaps?

Subject: [PATCH] pack-objects: set number of threads before checking and warning
Under NO_PTHREADS build, we warn when delta_search_threads is not
set to 1, because that is the only sensible value on a single
threaded build.
However, the auto detection that kicks in when that variable is set
to 0 (e.g. there is no configuration variable or command line option,
or an explicit --threads=0 is given from the command line to override
the pack.threads configuration to force auto-detection) was not done
before the condition to issue this warning was tested.
Move the auto-detection code and place it at an appropriate spot.
