Log:
Use sched_getaffinity instead of std::thread::hardware_concurrency.

The issue with std::thread::hardware_concurrency is that it forwards
to libc and some implementations (like glibc) don't take thread
affinity into consideration.

With this change a llvm program that can execute in only 2 cores will
use 2 threads, even if the machine has 32 cores.

This makes benchmarking a lot easier, but should also help if someone
doesn't want to use all cores for compilation for example.
