Removed bogus bogus -aux message

Browse Source 
This message has been here for ages and either people ignore it because
they are so used to using -aux or never see it.  It was here before 2005
and really 7 years is enought time to people to change their ways.

The notice is now removed, people who make usenames like "x" deserve all
the punishment they can get.

// Feel a need to patch this out? First of all, read the FAQ.
// Second of all, talk to me. Without this warning, people can
// get seriously confused. Ask yourself if users would freak out
// about "ps -aux" suddenly changing behavior if a user "x" were
// added to the system.
//
// Also, a "-x" option is coming. It's already there in fact,
// for some non-default personalities. So "ps -ax" will parse
// as SysV options... and you're screwed if you've been patching
// out the friendly warning. Cut-over is likely to be in 2005.

// Slackware:
// IMO, people can change old habits if and when user 'x' comes
// along. I still find this warning to be a POLA violation. No
// offense... that's the beauty of open source. You've got your
// ideas about this, and I have mine, and we're allowed to
// disagree. Nothing in the UNIX or POSIX standards requires
// this (annoying) warning to be displayed, and we're not
// changing the actual behavior of ps in any way. I know of no
// other 'ps' that produces this message.
