* client/fingerprint: correctly fingerprint E/P cores of Apple Silicon chips
This PR adds detection of asymetric core types (Power & Efficiency) (P/E)
when running on M1/M2 Apple Silicon CPUs. This functionality is provided
by shoenig/go-m1cpu which makes use of the Apple IOKit framework to read
undocumented registers containing CPU performance data. Currently working
on getting that functionality merged upstream into gopsutil, but gopsutil
would still not support detecting P vs E cores like this PR does.
Also refactors the CPUFingerprinter code to handle the mixed core
types, now setting power vs efficiency cpu attributes.
For now the scheduler is still unaware of mixed core types - on Apple
platforms tasks cannot reserve cores anyway so it doesn't matter, but
at least now the total CPU shares available will be correct.
Future work should include adding support for detecting P/E cores on
the latest and upcoming Intel chips, where computation of total cpu shares
is currently incorrect. For that, we should also include updating the
scheduler to be core-type aware, so that tasks of resources.cores on Linux
platforms can be assigned the correct number of CPU shares for the core
type(s) they have been assigned.

* fingerprint/cpu: follow up cr items
The default timeout is too short for some overburdened or resource
constrained machines to complete the WMI query before the context
deadline expires. This causes them to be unable to fingerprint the CPU
properly.
The new version of gopsutil introduces a 3 second timeout that could come up as an error here; however, we are outputting the wrong variable and eating the error.
This PR:
* Uses Go 1.8 executable lookup
* Stores any err message from stats init method
* Allows overriding of Cpu Compute for hosts where it can't be detected
