Fix CPU core count detection on QNX.

It tried to use sysctl() on QNX but
  - it broke the build because sysctl() needs -lsocket on QNX;
  - sysctl() doesn't work for detecting the core count on QNX
    even if it compiled.

sysconf() works. An alternative would have been to use
QNX-specific SYSPAGE_ENTRY(num_cpu) from <sys/syspage.h>.

Thanks to Ole André Vadla Ravnås.
