ringline 0.2.0

Async I/O runtime with io_uring (Linux) and mio (cross-platform) backends
Documentation
/// Returns the number of physical CPU cores available to this process.
///
/// On Linux, reads `/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology/physical_package_id`
/// and `core_id` to count unique (socket, core) pairs, correctly ignoring
/// hyperthreading siblings. Falls back to the logical CPU count on any read
/// error or on non-Linux platforms.
///
/// # Why physical cores for thread-per-core
///
/// Ringline's event loop is io_uring–driven: each worker continuously submits
/// SQEs and drains CQEs in a tight CPU-bound loop. Two hyperthreads on the
/// same physical core share execution units, L1, and L2 — spawning a worker
/// per logical CPU doubles the thread count without doubling the hardware
/// resources, causing cache thrashing and SMT contention on the submission
/// path. One worker per physical core saturates the available execution
/// resources without that overhead.
///
/// Benchmarks confirm: the optimal connection assignment is
/// `conn_chunk_size = connections / physical_core_count()`, which naturally
/// equals `connections / worker_count` when workers default to physical cores.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```rust
/// use ringline::physical_core_count;
/// println!("physical cores: {}", physical_core_count());
/// ```
