Better handling of changes in the number of installed CPUs
This patch aims to cover the following use cases:
- The user upgraded the cpufreq plugin to a newer version
- The user changed the number of CPU cores or SMT (hyper-threading) in the BIOS
- The user moved HDD/SSD to a different machine
- The user downgraded the CPU in the machine
This is implemented by making CPU_MIN, CPU_AVG and CPU_MAX independent from the number of CPUs in the machine.
On the 1st time an invalid CPU number setting is detected, the plugin will display a warning message. This warning message will likely be displayed to most cpufreq users after upgrading cpufreq to version 1.2.3+.
Screenshot of the displayed warning:
