[PATCH v3 2/5] selftests/resctrl: Add helpers for the non-contiguous test

[Maciej Wieczor-Retman]

The CAT non-contiguous selftests have to read the file responsible for
reporting support of non-contiguous CBMs in kernel (resctrl). Then the
test compares if that information matches what is reported by CPUID
output.

Add a generic helper function to read an unsigned number from a file in
/sys/fs/resctrl/info/<RESOURCE>/<FILE>.
