Additional library support and auto installation of dependencies.

[kennethdsheridan]

Summary

This PR adds library support to hardware_report and implements automatic installation of the numactl dependency when it's not present on the system.

What's Changed

New Features

1. Library Support

   • hardware_report can now be used as a Rust crate in other projects
   • Exposed public API with ServerInfo::collect() method
   • All structs are now publicly accessible with proper documentation
   • Added serialization support with serde for all data structures

2. Automatic numactl Installation

   • Automatically detects if numactl is missing on system startup
   • Attempts to install it using the appropriate package manager
   • Supports multiple package managers: apt/apt-get, dnf, yum, zypper
   • Handles both root and non-root (sudo) scenarios
   • Falls back gracefully if installation fails

3. Usage Examples

   • Added examples/basic_usage.rs - demonstrates basic library usage
   • Added examples/custom_analysis.rs - shows advanced filtering and analysis

Documentation

• Updated README with comprehensive library usage instructions
• Added code examples for common use cases
• Documented all public structs and methods

Breaking Changes

None - all existing CLI functionality remains unchanged.

Testing

• Tested library import in a standalone Rust project
• Verified automatic numactl installation works correctly
• Confirmed examples compile and run successfully
• Ensured backward compatibility with existing CLI usage

Example Usage

use hardware_report::ServerInfo;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let info = ServerInfo::collect()?;
    println!("Hostname: {}", info.hostname);
    println!("Total Memory: {}", info.summary.total_memory);
    Ok(())
}
