remove ngx_cpuinfo, use sysconf or define

Function ngx_cpuinfo() is used to (sub-optimally) determine the value of
ngx_cacheline_size on x86 hardware. On hardware running Linux, there may be a
sysconf call that correctly reports the cache line size using architecturally
appropriate methods-- for x86 hardware, the CPUID instruction.

Therefore, ngx_cpuinfo is no longer needed. If said sysconf call is
unavailable, set ngx_cachline_size to defined NGX_CPU_CACHE_LINE, the value of
which is determined at configure time.
