top: an efficiency tweak to extra wide character logic

Browse Source 
When I recently added extra wide character support for
locales like zh_CN, I didn't worry about some overhead
associated with the new calls to 'mbtowc' & 'wcwidth'.
That's because such overhead was usually incurred with
user interactions, not a normal iterative top display.

There was, however, one area where this overhead would
impact the normal iterative top mode - that's with the
Summary display. So I peeked at the glibc source code.

As it turns out, the costs of executing those 'mbtowc'
and 'wcwidth' functions were not at all insignificant.
So, this patch will avoid them in the vast majority of
instances, while still enabling extra wide characters.
