p5302: count up to online-cpus for thread tests

When PERF_EXTRA is enabled, p5302 checks the performance of index-pack
with various numbers of threads. This can be useful for deciding what
the default should be (which is currently capped at 3 threads based on
the results of this script).

However, we only go up to 8 threads, and modern machines may have more.
Let's get the number of CPUs from test-tool, and test various numbers of
threads between one and that maximum.

Note that the current tests aren't all identical, as we have to set
GIT_FORCE_THREADS for the --threads=1 test (which measures the overhead
of starting a single worker thread versus the "0" case of using the main
thread). To keep the loop simple, we'll keep the "0" case out of it, and
set GIT_FORCE_THREADS=1 for all of the other cases (it's a noop for all
but the "1" case, since numbers higher than 1 would always need
threads).

Note also that we could skip running "test-tool" if PERF_EXTRA isn't
set. However, there's some small value in knowing the number of threads,
so that we can mark each test as skipped in the output.
