display_header() code to parse meminfo as is was buggy:
- uninitialized variables were used if meminfo was not as expected
- meminfo parsing failed on new kernels (3.14+) as new field 'MemAvailable'
was introduced between MemFree and Buffers
- shared memory was handled only for ancient kernels (2.4.x and earlier)
as result Buffers and shared memory fields were shown with bogus values
on current kernels.
The new code does not try to parse the old style summary header, as the
separated fields are always present (it saves code size). Additionally,
both Shmem (2.6+) and MemShared (2.4 and earlier) fields are now parsed
and summed for shared memory usage; as only one of them exists depending
on kernel version.
display_topmem_header() parses also meminfo so this makes it use the
same code for code shrink.
