sort: spawn fewer threads for small inputs

* src/sort.c (SUBTHREAD_LINES_HEURISTIC): Do not spawn a new thread
for every 4 lines.  Increase this from 4 to 128K.  128K lines seems
appropriate for a 5-year-old dual-core laptop, but it is too low for
some common combinations of short lines and/or newer systems.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
