This patch just follows Craig's lead for the remaining
ps and top program files and associated man documents.

When the p/e-cores support (via the '5' key) was added
in the patch referenced below, I intentionally omitted
that key from the top primary help screen. This seemed
appropriate since it only applied to select Intel cpus
and, besides, that screen was getting kind of crowded.
[ it remains an objective to fit on a 80x24 terminal ]
Upon reflection, I found a way to squeeze it into that
help screen and have decided to included it. Hopefully
its presence will encourage use of top's new provision
on any Intel platforms that distinguish between cores.

When long command line options were introduced, in the
patch shown below, the string associated with the enum
'WRONG_switch_fmt' became obsolete. However, that enum
and its string were never removed. Well, now they are.

In that commit referenced below, I removed the command
line help text from any translation so the TP wouldn't
delay our 4.0.1 release any further. In looking to the
future, when we might be able to reverse that, I found
gettext tools blocking use of the compile conditional.
They are too primitive for the original approach so we
must modify that exclusion mechanism hack accordingly.
____________________________excerpted program comments
The provision excluding some strings is intended to be
used very sparingly. It exists in case we collide with
some translation project person in a position to delay
a future release over his or her personal preferences.
If it's ever enabled, it will produce a fatal compiler
error as our only option since those gettext tools are
far too primitive to be influenced with a conditional.
They always ignore a '_X()' macro no matter its state.

I sure hope we won't disappoint the library with these
changes since we're only exploiting one of the two new
enumerators that the immediately prior patch provided.
Now top will be able to offer a visual clue as to each
cpu (thread actually) core association. Is it a P-core
offering multiple threads or a single threaded E-core.
We'll accomplish this feat with a subtle change to the
states portion ('t' toggle) of the summary area. Where
before processors were represented as 'Cpu', they will
now be displayed as 'CpP' (P-core) and 'CpE' (E-core).
[ assuming that new '5' command toggle has been used ]
There are also new provisions for filtering those cpus
by their core type association via the new '5' toggle.

When displaying detailed memory statistics two abreast
data for the lines are less than those for cpus. So we
can exploit such a difference to provide a distinctive
separator. This may help separating cpu & memory data.
[ in truth, this happened before this patch. what we ]
[ are doing now is polishing that accidental feature ]
[ and placing it under the control of a conditional. ]

When 2 abreast cpu display was introduced, the minimum
screen width was 160 columns so as to avoid (minimize)
truncation. Later that was reduced to 80 columns while
keeping the original minimum as a compile conditional.
In preparation for (virtually) eliminating these width
restrictions in a future patch this #define's history.
