Queued for review and testing, thank you!  As usual, I could not resist
the urge to edit a bit, so please let me know if I messed anything up.

If there are too many of these, it might be easier for kvm.sh to switch
itself to EN-US mode, but this change both simplified the code and helped
defend the purity of the French language, so steady as she goes!  ;-)

							Thanx, Paul

    tools/rcutorture: Make identify_qemu_vcpus() independent of local language
    
    The rcutorture scripts' identify_qemu_vcpus() function expects `lscpu`
    to have a "CPU: " line, for example:
    
            CPU(s):         8
    
    But different local language settings can give different results:
    
            Processeur(s) :         8
    
    As a result, identify_qemu_vcpus() may return an empty string, resulting
    in the following warning (with the same local language settings):
    
            kvm-test-1-run.sh: ligne 138 : test:  : nombre entier attendu comme expression
    
    This commit therefore changes identify_qemu_vcpus() to use getconf,
    which produces local-language-independend output.
