Research direction

Start with the Windows processor-groups API documentation linked in the issue, then trace the repository's existing affinity entry points. Determine the API changes needed for systems with more than 64 logical processors; done means affinity works there without regressing supported systems.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

To support affinity on systems with > 64 logical processors, some alternative set of APIs are needed: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/procthread/processor-groups
