Subject: [PATCH v2] sysconf: add _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF support

Currently, _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF is always equal to _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN.
However, it is expected from the first one to give the total number of CPUs
in the system, while the later must return only the number of CPUs which
are currently online. This distinction is important for a software such as
trace-cmd. Trace-cmd is a front-end for the kernel tracing tool ftrace.
When recording traces, trace-cmd needs to get the total number of CPUs
available in the system (_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) and not only the online ones
otherwise if a CPU goes offline some data might be missing.

Hence, add a specific method to get _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF, based on the
sysfs file /sys/devices/system/cpu/present.
