ps: restore aix behavior while keeping an original fix

Browse Source 
[ since our'master' branch will suffer the same fate ]
[ this was ported from a patch created for 'newlib'. ]

-------------------------- original newlib commit text
-------------------------- (showing our master commit)

The commit shown below broke the aix behavior that Dr.
Fink recently reported. However, in the proposed patch
the old behavior, showing garbage when '%cpu' was used
with an invalid formatting option, would appear again.

So this patch, based on Werner's patch, goes the extra
distance to prevent that. Along the way we'll disallow
commas in the aix format str to prevent their display.
