Cleanups to the code that detects the amount of RAM and

the number of CPU cores. Added support for using sysinfo()
on Linux systems whose libc lacks appropriate sysconf()
support (at least dietlibc). The Autoconf macros were
split into separate files, and CPU core count detection
was moved from hardware.c to cpucores.h. The core count
isn't used for anything real for now, so a problematic
part in process.c was commented out.
