topology: Create core_cpus and die_cpus sysfs attributes
Create CPU topology sysfs attributes: "core_cpus" and "core_cpus_list" These attributes represent all of the logical CPUs that share the same core. These attriutes is synonymous with the existing "thread_siblings" and "thread_siblings_list" attribute, which will be deprecated. Create CPU topology sysfs attributes: "die_cpus" and "die_cpus_list". These attributes represent all of the logical CPUs that share the same die.
