MINOR: cpu-topo: add a new "cpu-set" global directive to choose cpus

For now it's limited, it only supports "reset" to ask that any previous
"taskset" be ignored. The goal will be to later add more actions that
allow to symbolically define sets of cpus to bind to or to drop. This
also clears the cpu_mask_forced variable that is used to detect
that a taskset had been used.
