Detect missing cpuinfo package when running test-libs.sh and let the user know - #967

Conversation
Due to the fact that the package name is not the same as the module name (`py-cpuinfo` vs `cpuinfo`), the error that results from trying to run this script when `py-cpuinfo` is not installed can be confusing. Let's help users & developers by testing it and pointing them in the right direction.

Code Review
This pull request improves the developer experience by adding a check for the py-cpuinfo package in test_libs.sh and clarifying the usage message. The implementation is good, but I've suggested a few improvements to make the check more robust and adhere to shell scripting best practices, such as using python -m pip and redirecting error messages to stderr.
