Benno Schulenberg suggested some changes to the help messages
to provide some consistency and clarity for both the users and
translators of procps.
The test needed to be updated as the pmap output changed too.

To assist translators, the help lines are split so that each translation
chunk has one option. This gives bonus of if we add or change an option,
only that option remains untranslated rather than the entire help block.

This commit introduces support for special %PPID value that
can be passed to the -o option as a substitution for parent
PID. It also allows users to use two additional separators
for omitted PIDs - colon and semicolon.
As the sysvinit becomes obsolete, some of the bundled tools
need to find a new home. The procps-ng project seems to be
the most suitable project for adopting the pidof tool.
This commit introduces a redesigned version of pidof
that satisfies the LSB requirements.
In corner cases the behaviour might differ from the former
one as the new version doesn't use any stat(2) calls.
