Research direction
The main goal is to collect /proc/cpuinfo outputs from as many different platforms (x86, ARM, etc.) as possible to understand the variations in format. Contributors should run `cat /proc/cpuinfo` and post the output in the issue. This data will be used to refactor the cpuinfo parsing code in fastfetch, likely in files under src/detection/cpu/.
