This allows for the functionality of cpu-cpuid.py script to be
integrated more naturally in a later patch.
Changes the way this script should be called:
cpu-gather.py -> cpu-gather.py
cpu-gather.py --gather -> cpu-gather.py gather
cpu-gather.py --parse -> cpu-gather.py parse
cpu-gather.py --gather --parse -> cpu-gather.py full

This is a preparatory step to replace the output format with
something more readable.

Fixes the leaking file descriptors. Does not silently ignore errors
(e.g. permission denied on /dev/cpu/0/msr if run as non-root) and
always attempt to read from /dev/kvm if /dev/cpu/0/msr failed.
'gather_msr()' returns a dictionary of values, as a later patch will
add more registers to be interrogated.

This is useful if cpuid was compiled from source in a non-standard
location.

Turn the comment on how to aquire cpuid into a runtime error message.
Use "http" instead of "https" in the URL, as the latter is broken.

Some hardware, e.g. exotic platforms or pre-production hardware, may
report wrong or random data for the cpu model name. As the name of
the created files is derived from that name, this may lead to issues.
