reduce Max nb Workers to 64 in 32-bit mode

Browse Source 
and restored limit to 256 when in 64-bit mode
(it was reduced to 200 to give more room for 32-bit).

This should fix test instability issues
using lot of threads in 32-bit environments.

\fB\-\-fast[=#]\fR: switch to ultra\-fast compression levels\. If \fB=#\fR is not present, it defaults to \fB1\fR\. The higher the value, the faster the compression speed, at the cost of some compression ratio\. This setting overwrites compression level if one was set previously\. Similarly, if a compression level is set after \fB\-\-fast\fR, it overrides it\.

\fB\-\-single\-thread\fR: Does not spawn a thread for compression, use a single thread for both I/O and compression\. In this mode, compression is serialized with I/O, which is slightly slower\. (This is different from \fB\-T1\fR, which spawns 1 compression thread in parallel of I/O)\. This mode is the only one available when multithread support is disabled\. Single\-thread mode features lower memory usage\. Final compressed result is slightly different from \fB\-T1\fR\.
