Exclusively use getconf(1P) in get_nprocs()

Presently, the get_nprocs() subroutine tries to execute nproc(1) from
coreutils before falling back to getconf(1P). Simplify the code by
using only the latter utility.

The _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN configuration variable was standardised by
POSIX-1.2024 (Issue 8) but glibc has supported it for a very long time.
Indeed, I found it to be supported by a system using glibc 2.15, which
is 14 years old.
