Publish available logical CPU count when cgroup limit is unavailable.

The gauge description states: "Cgroup CPU limit in cores, or available logical CPUs when cgroup limits are unavailable." The current implementation returns 0.0 when cgroup detection fails, contradicting that contract. Return the available logical CPU count instead.

The num_cpus crate is already a dependency and used throughout the codebase for this purpose. Import it and return num_cpus::get() as f64 when the cgroup limit is unavailable.

🐛 Suggested fix 
+use num_cpus;
+
pub fn cpu_limit_cores() -> f64 {
-    cgroup_cpu_limit_cores().unwrap_or(0.0)
+    cgroup_cpu_limit_cores().unwrap_or_else(|| num_cpus::get() as f64)
}

Review comment at @src/handlers/http/resource_check.rs at line 104:
Update cpu_limit_cores to return the available logical CPU count when
cgroup_cpu_limit_cores has no limit, rather than returning 0.0. Use the existing
num_cpus dependency and preserve the cgroup limit result when available.
