Jim Warner caeebdc71f ps: exploit the simplified library interface for wchan
This patch was made necessary by those library changes
in support of recently revised/simplified wchan logic.

In addition, this commit eliminates a broken alternate
'namelist' provision which was intended to allow users
to specify a System.map file to be used in translating
addresses into function names. But, the real effect of
the now defunct 'N' and '-n' options was to indirectly
force addresses (not names) to be displayed since such
user named map files could not be successfully parsed.

Besides when the required FRAME_POINTER kconfig option
is absent there is no address to translate and when it
is present /proc/PID/wchan is already translated. Thus
an alternate mapping is unnecessary and inappropriate.

[ we'll forgive POSIX for documenting '-n  namelist' ]
