b73a423cc2 top: avoid %cpu distortions when toggling task/thread modes
This commit addresses a long standing buglet (debian #441166) which
surfaces when the display mode is switched between task and threads.

An extra procps refresh is now forced upon such a transition which
parallels the approach used at startup for the exact same reason.

3ad8fd56ed vmstat: slabinfo (-m option) test disabled if not readable
The dejagnu tests for slabtop are skipped when "/proc/slabinfo" is
unreadable due to permissions.  This commit provides the same check
for vmstat under its -m (slabinfo) option.

58a6c89cd1 sysctl -p has no space
The man page has examples like sysctl -p filename. Optional arguments
using getopt cannot have a space between the option and argument.
So the correct format is sysctl -pfilename

3c2377ca15 Linux version for non-linux systems
On non-linux systems, uts.version provides the version of that
specific kernel (FreeBSD or Hurd version, for example) and not the
emulated procfs pseudo version.

On those systems we need to directly read /proc/version and parse the
string.  This change replaces Debian patches gnu-kbsd-version and
complain_unmounted_proc patches.

a909f6e917 Change restrict to __restrict in public includes
procps automake defines restrict which means the binaries for procps
binaries compile. However external programs may not of defined
restrict which means they will not complie if they include files found
in /usr/include/proc.

Includes from libc6 use __restrict and if is good enough for
them, its good enough for us.

c84675241d For free -b make the variable a long long
Bug-Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/654368

On systems with very large amonut of RAM when they use the -b or --bytes
option on free you get overflow and free shows a negative amount of
memory, which is obviously wrong.

f776e59123 fixed e and x options in watch
The -e option would print a confusing error message. This is because
most error messages in watch are one word.  This fix makes a more
sensible message about what went wrong.

The -x option exited before the endwin() function was called, so if the
child process died the terminal was left in a funky state. endwin is now
called just before the exit(8) for the -x option.

4fb48c0bdb ps: generalize help text logic, add related translator hints
This commit represents an experiment in nls help text support.

The word --help itself been made translatable along with the
help section names and their abbreviations.  Thus, the work of
the translators will ultimately alter program run-time behavior.

Perhaps someday all "long" options can behave in a similar way
which could offer a considerable benefit to other languages.
Instead of translationg just option descriptions, the long
forms of those options could also be transalated.

This commit also:
 . includes the section abbreviations in --help output
 . isolates all --help support in the ps/help.c module
 . provides (hopefully) meaningful Translator guidance
 . removes --help support from the ps/common.h header
 . removes --help support from the ps/parser.c module
 . eliminates tabs in line with the style of other ps modules
 . eliminates the need for the include/c.h header file

fb11e1fe0a Changed the err and warns to macros
err and warn are BSD format but they are not recommended by library
developers.  However their consiseness is useful!

The solution is to use some macros that create xerr etc which then
just map to the error() function.  The next problem is error() uses
program_invocation_name so we set this to program_invovation_short_name

This is a global set but seems to be the convention (or at least errors
are on the short name only) used everywhere else.
