introduce fact "ansible_processor_nproc": number of usable vcpus (#66569)
This fact reflects the number of usable vcpus (which might be different
from ansible_processor_vcpus, e.g., in containers with limits). See
also #51504.

This reverts commit 207848f354.

 opted to leave current behaviour but document it on both plugins to mitigate confusion

 fixes #50556

7988266bb7 Improve clarity of precedence when command-line parameters are used. (#39059)
* Improve clarity of precedence when command-line parameters are used.

* Add command-line values into the precedence list.
* Several sample config snippets were included without any explanation
  of how those snippets would be processed. Added descriptions so that
  the reader can understand what each snippet will (or won't) accomplish.

* Don't focus on inventory as much

Expand on the fact that it's the fact that a variable is set that
matters, not the source of the variable.
