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
