top: provide a build option to change memory precision
When summary & task area memory scaling was introduced in release 3.3.6, the memory field widths were widened slightly so unscaled KiB values could be provided more consistently and scaled values (beyond MiB) could show 3 decimal places of precision. However, some users may prefer the former widths/precisions for memory fields. This commit will provide a build time configure option to return top to those former defaults as a compliment to a new %CPU & %MEM field precision configure option.

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.
