Yes, I'd like to do that, but as a follow-up, specifically to have
failing tests in CI suggest a way to run them locally.

It would be better as ci/config.sh or something, but it was ci/lib.sh
already, and this way minimized the diff/conflicts.

I figured the scary error would be useful, it's only if you run it
ad-hoc, so it would be a nice hint as to why we fallback on the default
nproc.

*nod*

I'd rather not finish this part up though and instead just have this
call some moral equivalent of t/helper/test-online-cpus.c.

Most of our CI is linux, so just nproc for now felt like a good initial
addition which we could expand on later.
