tools lib api cpu: Introduce cpu.[ch] to obtain cpu related information

E.g.:

 $ ./cpu__get_max_freq
 3200000

It does that, as Kan's patch does, by looking at these files:

  $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
  0-3
  $ ./sysfs__read_ull
  devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq=3200000
  $

I.e. find out the first online CPU, then read its cpufreq info.

But do it in tools/lib/api/, so that other tools/ living code can use
it, not just perf.
