atlas: multithreaded BLAS is used despite setting site.cfg to use serial one

After going through the whole set of site.cfg issues, I’m almost tempted to leave that as is for backwards compat and create a new .cfg config file with sane behavior. There are so many corner cases and people with workarounds for current behavior that it’ll be very hard to fix otherwise.

… create a new .cfg config file with sane behavior.
