[x265] Windows CPU core affinity vs. NUMA pools

[Mario *LigH* Rohkrämer]

Currently being discussed in the doom9 forum:

Is it possible to control the affinity to a subset of available CPU 
cores via x265 parameters (like --pools) so that multiple instances of 
x265 can be restricted to specific cores on a multi-core CPU?

Example: One instance of x265 may be bound to core 1-4, another to core 
5-8 ... of a 16-core CPU.

Despite trying to set the affinity via parameter in a "start" CLI 
command, x265 selects its own set, the affinity would have to be 
manually changed in a task manager after the process started, which is 
very inconvenient.
