chainlint.pl: latch CPU count directly reported by /proc/cpuinfo
On Linux, ncores() computes the number of CPUs by counting the "processor" or "CPU" lines emitted by /proc/cpuinfo. However, on some platforms, /proc/cpuinfo does not enumerate the CPUs at all, but instead merely mentions the total number of CPUs. In such cases, pluck the CPU count directly from the /proc/cpuinfo line which reports the number of active CPUs. (In particular, check for "cpus active: NN" and "ncpus active: NN" since both variants have been seen in the wild[1,2].)
