John Audia 65d36329e3 x86: make CONFIG_NR_CPUS a tunable (2-512)
Add KERNEL_NR_CPUS option in Global build settings → Kernel build
options, allowing users to set maximum CPU count (2-512) for the image.

Defaults:
- x86_64: 512 CPUs (backward compatible)
- x86: 8 CPUs (fix broken single-CPU default)

Per-CPU data structures consume ~100-200KB each.
On a 4-core system configured to NR_CPUS=4, this frees approx 76 MB
of RAM: (512 - 4) × 150 KB = ~76 MB

Note: CONFIG_NR_CPUS_RANGE_{BEGIN,END}= and CONFIG_NR_CPUS_DEFAULT= are
set by the build system and will default to 2/512/64 per arch/x86/Kconfig
These are harmless metadata and don't affect memory allocation.
