Jim Warner e524e48138 library: eliminate distorted history 1st time switches ...

Upon reflection, at the point where the 'priming read'
was introduced, any possibility of history distortions
was also eliminated.  This was true because all of the
'old' (zeroed) data will have been replaced with 'new'
data whenever a user finally calls get, select & reap.

Thus, any DELTA values will automatically reflect that
interval between 'new' and subsequent retrieval calls.

[ diskstats didn't actually employ a 1st time switch ]
[ like the others so we have changed a comment only. ]
[ but that module will retain something similar used ]
[ inside node_update whenever a new node is created. ]
