This patch will address Craig's feedback regarding the
original implementation of top's two new toggles. It's
likely other users would have questioned why they were
not saved also, once they discover these new features.
And, since the minimum terminal width was just lowered
to 80 columns, the default for window #1 is also being
changed to show the individual cpu graphs two abreast.
[ assuming no '--disable-modern-top' for ./configure ]

I'm about to break older top rcfile compatibility when
preserving those two new toggles. And, though this has
happened several times over the years, we never issued
any warnings that such thing was just about to happen.
So, this patch corrects the long standing shortcoming.

For the original implementation of the '4' toggle, the
minimum width was set at 165 columns. This was done to
avoid truncations when detailed cpu statistics (versus
graphs) were being displayed. Those can not be scaled.
Upon reflection, it seems more appropriate to give the
user the choice of whether or not to truncate. And, by
reducing that minimum width requirement to 80 columns,
we'll vastly expand potential use of two abreast mode.
[ we'll keep that original as '#define TOG4_NOTRUNC' ]
The patch also updates the man document appropriately.
Along the way, we will trade the potentially confusing
word 'adjacent' for the more natural 'additional' when
detailing the '!' toggle in 4b. Summary-Area-Commands.

This patch simply allows for better testing of our two
new toggles: '4' (2 abreast) plus '!' (combined cpus).
It had previously been dropped under the newlib branch
since top no longer managed cpus. However, now that we
have those new toggles, it seemed worth the efforts to
once again re-imagine then implement such a provision.

When implementing that earlier '4' toggle, in response
to the issue referenced below, I got to thinking about
those environments with massively parallel processors.
Such environments may not benefit from the '4' toggle.
So, I decided to implement a feature that could enable
use of those '1' and/or '4' toggles no matter how many
active processors top may have ultimately encountered.
With the new '!' toggle, adjacent cpus can be combined
to any degree, represented as a single cpu group/line.

In the back of my mind, I've always wanted to enable a
two abreast cpu display. Folks with massively parallel
machines must surely have been frustrated with the '1'
toggle when Off (individual cpus in the Summary Area).
So, I'll use that recently raised issue shown below as
a justification for finally implementing this feature.

Wow, hard to believe the extraneous comment line dates
all way back to an introduction of NLS support (2011).

Reverted the translation hint as the fields are used for both
normal and wide modes, so need to fit the smaller of the two.

2 digits are not enough for number of runnable/blocked processes on modern
systems. Changed to 4 digits with given the -w option.

The time the process started after system boot. In
kernels before Linux 2.6, this value was expressed
in jiffies. Since Linux 2.6, the value is expressed
in clock ticks (divide by sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK)).

The referenced commits enavled both pkill and kill to send an integer to
the killed or signalled process. The test_process now will report on the
integer if sent and the testsuite changes take advantage of this
new feature.
Another process make/destroy set had to be made as using spawn
instead of exec changes both the SID and TTY for the underlying
process, making other tests fail.
