Jim Warner b8614adcb5 top: make '#define GRAPHS_ALIGN' an immutable solution
My original graph modes implementation made no attempt
to align the Cpu & Mem/Swap graphs. I thought, rather,
that such alignment could be best achieved by the user
using top's 'E' memory scaling command toggle. In that
way Mem/Swap prefixes could be reduced by 3 positions,
bringing the beginning '[' into line with the %Cpu(s).

If that proved to be too cumbersome a #define could be
enabled making the Mem/Swap prefix static while adding
a few padding bytes to the %Cpu line(s) for alignment.
It was those waisted bytes that were the most concern.

What I had not counted on was the fact that the memory
lines themselves might become misaligned & that became
likely with more physical memory present. That too can
be cured with the 'E' command but as scaling is raised
we soon reach a meaningless total such as '0.003' even
though the displayed % remains valid (and unchanging).

So this commit implements unconditionally what used to
be conditional. But, instead of waisting padding bytes
we'll put that space to good use with a new 'total %'.

COMPATIBILITY

    This code is intended for use with Linux 2.6.xx, 3.x and
    hopefully all future kernels.

INSTALLATION

    If you are using git version of the project you need extra step.

    ./autogen.sh

    After that, and everyone using .tar.xz version of procps-ng, can
    do normal build.  Read './configure --help' to select options for
    your needs.

    ./configure
    make
    make install

    If you have DejaGNU installed you can run optional test suite.

    make check

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE

    See Documentation/BUGS file.

PACKAGING

    If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
    distribution, please avoid causing troubles.  This section
    applies to you.

    Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches.  Send your
    patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
    included.

    Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
    busy enough to bother with, please make this known.  Follow
    Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
    email without need for an account.

    For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
    to the CFLAGS variable.
