This functionality was implemented in #65 ("Updated package.name to also query machdep.cpu.brand_string if decode of hw.machine fails"), but then it was omitted from the subsequent #100, probably inadvertently.

Adding that functionality back here, so that the package/device name can be shown correctly on recent devices and macOS/iOS versions. I have reversed the order so that machdep.cpu.brand_string is checked before attempting
to decode hw.machine, since the former appears to be more future-proof.

Before this change, on a recent MacBook Pro:

$ cpu-info
...
Debug (cpuinfo): hw.machine: arm64
Warning in cpuinfo: parsing "hw.machine" failed: Undefined error: 0
...

After this change:

$ cpu-info
...
Debug (cpuinfo): machdep.cpu.brand_string: Apple M2 Pro
...
Packages:
    0: Apple M2 Pro

The logic in decode_package_name_from_hw_machine has already become somewhat obsolete, which is why it makes sense to prefer read_package_name_from_brand_string wherever it succeeds on newer devices/OSes.

For example, the package in iPhone 15 Pro should be described as Apple A17 Pro, rather than simply A17 (which is what the current logic would show, according to the hw.machine values shown at: https://gist.github.com/adamawolf/3048717#file-apple_mobile_device_types-txt-L55-L56).

…ding hw.machine

This functionality was implemented in pytorch#65 ("Updated package.name to also
query machdep.cpu.brand_string if decode of hw.machine fails"), but then it was
omitted from the subsequent pytorch#100, probably inadvertently.

Adding that functionality back here, so that the package/device name can be
shown correctly on recent devices and macOS/iOS versions.  I have reversed
the order so that `machdep.cpu.brand_string` is checked before attempting to
decode `hw.machine`, since the former appears to be more future-proof.
