Currently, ClocksPerSec is determined by exec'ing getconf in func init,
i.e. on startup of every program importing the package. getconf might
not be present on some systems or is not executable by the current user.
To avoid this hard to control dependency, use the
github.com/tklauser/go-sysconf package which implements sysconf(3)
entirely in Go without cgo. The package is supported on all platforms
currently supported by the cpu and v3/cpu package of gopsutil.
This commit adds Solaris(^1) support for the Info() function of package
cpu, with the exception of the L2 cache size which is not trivially
available(^2).
Support is implemented by parsing the output of `isainfo -b -v` (for the
instruction set flags), and `psr-info -p -v` for other information.
Example outputs from a range of different size VMs and Joyent containers
are included as part of the tests.
(^1): This has only been tested with Illumos in the form of SmartOS. I
believe it to be portable to other Illumos distributions but have not
tested on Oracle Solaris.
(^2): Enough support is added here to be usable for my port of
HashiCorp's Nomad to SmartOS.
