worker: use multiprocessing to find cpu count

The multiprocessing package was added in Python 2.6.
The implementation of worker.countcpus() is very similar to
multiprocessing.cpu_count(). Ditch our one-off code.

multiprocessing does result in a number of imports. However,
the lazy importer ensures that we don't import anything until
cpu_count() is called. Furthermore, if we are doing something
with multiple cores, chances are the time of that operation
will dwarf the import time, so module bloat isn't a concern
here.
