ps: respond to loss of that PIDS_WCHAN_ADDR enumerator
No longer will ps print nwchan as 'ffffff', '-' or '1' since the proc/PID/stat wchan field didn't represent a real address anyway. Rather, the field will henceforth output a dash ('-'), the ps customary 'not available'. That man document was also tweaked to better represent actual behavior. An asterisk ('*') was never shown for threaded tasks and that dash ('-') usually didn't mean running tasks (sometimes associated with permissions).
