`getconf NPROCESSORS_ONLN' will succeed on GNU/Linux systems
anyways; and the non-underscore-prefixed invocation works fine
on all BSD flavors tested.

Thus the `nproc' and `gnproc' attempts will never be reached.
The only downside is we lose the ability to account for CPU
affinity, but that's probably not an issue since CPU affinity
(AFAIK) isn't a commonly-used feature.

Nothing major, just a few things I noticed while working
on various *BSDs.

Eric Wong (8):
  ci/run: favor `make check' as the default target
  drop GNU nproc(1) support in favor of getconf(1)
  ipc: assume SOCK_SEQPACKET exists
  rename t/run.perl to xt/check-run
  makefile: avoid needless use of double-colon rules
  pop3d: split @FLOCK into $FLOCK_TMPL and @FLOCK_ORDER
  install/deps: more fixes
  makefile: avoid non-POSIX which(1)
