core_pattern: add CPU specifier

Statistically, in a large deployment regular segfaults may indicate a CPU
issue.

Currently, it is not possible to find out what CPU the segfault happened
on.  There are at least two attempts to improve segfault logging with this
regard, but they do not help in case the logs rotate.

Hence, lets make sure it is possible to permanently record a CPU the task
ran on using a new core_pattern specifier.
