smp: 64 processors, and say how many there are

NCPU was 16, under what a desktop has today. 64 costs 48 more TSS
I/O bitmaps and scheduler stacks, about 800 KB of BSS. Past 254 the
APIC would need x2APIC mode, which is a separate change.

With more than 16 there were two other ceilings. sched_getaffinity
wrote "CPU 0" and returned 0, and musl clears every byte past the
count returned -- so the mask came back empty and nproc, make -j and
sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) all said 1, on any machine. It returns
the mask of processors that started, and its size, now. And /proc
rendered every file into 2 KB, which /proc/cpuinfo ran out of at the
eighteenth processor without a word; /proc/pci, /proc/interrupts and
/proc/mounts were each one bigger machine from the same cut. There is
one 64 KB buffer for it now behind a sleeplock, since there is no
allocator for contiguous pages, and the generators that write raw
are given the real capacity instead of a constant.

Checked under QEMU with -smp 24: nproc 24, /proc/cpuinfo whole.
