top: man page now includes resident memory enhancement

Browse Source 
Since support already exists in the newlib branch this
represents an equivalent master branch implementation,
and this commit message is shared with 2 more patches.

Beginning with linux-4.5, the following new fields are
being added under that /proc/<pid>/status pseudo file:
 . RssAnon - size of resident anonymous memory
 . RssFile - size of resident file mappings
 . RssShmem - size of resident shared memory

p.s. Locked resident memory support was also added but
isn't directly related to the kernel 4.5 enhancements.

p.p.s. Archlinux, Debian-stretch and Fedora-23 already
are currently using a 4.5 linux kernel (as of 6/2/16).
