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.

From http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/proc.5.html:
(22) starttime %llu
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.

Based on the command line option, use 'sigqueue'
instead of 'kill' to pass the integer value with
the signal.

@steffhip found that while the translation hint said use 9 characters in
the free headers, it really was only 7.
Currently each line is constructed with the following (in non wide format):
Header + 6 Columns. The header takes 7 characters and each column is 11
characters wide and prefixed with one space. Thus we have
7 + (1 + 11) * 6 = 79 characters for each line
By dropping the leading space for the first column after the header -the
header is already terminated by a colon- one could indeed provide the needed
9 letters for the header and thus have 9 + 11 * 1 + (1 + 11) * 5 = 80 Chars
per line which would fit into one line.

Well, shit! With release 4.0 on March 25th the lxc/lxd
folks have stuck it to us once again. They changed the
cgroup lxc prefix used to identify the container name.

Reimplementation of pidof for procps toolset contains sort of deactivated code and does not return results for processes without task.cmdline entry (usually kernel worker threads). Old pidof and pgrep do that in comparison. Despite all perks provided by using pgrep instead, pidof should show those workers again.

Several years after the 'e' & 'E' interactive commands
were introduce to affect memory scaling, an 'E' switch
was added. This was after discovering a dropped Redhat
patch which provided a unique 'M' command line switch.
If only for symmetry it makes sense to offer a similar
command switch ('e') for the Task Area memory scaling.
As was true with 'E', top's help text will show 'e' as
if it were a switch without arguments in order to keep
help text displayed without wrap in an 80x24 terminal.
The man page, however, will show all of the arguments.
