Previously it just didn't work at all - kvm_getprocs(3) doesn't update
the &nentries when it returns NULL. The end result was that ps(1) showed
garbage data instead of reporting kinfo_proc size mismatch.

A follow-up fix for r314685.
Because the -w flag is parsed after ps(1) infers termwidth from COLUMNS and
stdout, and UNLIMITED happens to be the zero value, the single -w flag in
combination with a non-terminal stdout or COLUMNS=0 could result in output
truncated at 131 characters. (Despite the output being unlimited without
-w.)
Obviously, adding more -w shouldn't truncate output lines.
The committed patch is from bdrewery@, and I've reviewed and tested it.

If stdout isn't a tty, use unlimited width output rather than truncating to
79 characters. This is helpful for shell scripts or e.g., 'ps | grep foo'.
This hardcoded width has some history: In The Beginning of History[0], the
width of ps was hardcoded as 80 bytes. In 1985, Bloom@ added detection
using TIOCGWINSZ on stdin.[1] In 1986, Kirk merged a change to check
stdout's window size instead. In 1990, the fallback checks to stderr and
stdin's TIOCGWINSZ were added by Marc@, with the commit message "new
version."[2]
OS X Darwin has a very similar modification to ps(1), which simply sets
UNLIMITED for all non-tty outputs.[3] I've chosen to respect COLUMNS
instead of behaving identically to Darwin here, but I don't feel strongly
about that. We could match OS X for parity if that is desired.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

There is no need to to call strdup() on the value returned by fmt().
The latter calls fmt_argv() which always returns a dynamically
allocated string, and calling strdup() on that leaks the memory
allocated by fmt_argv(). Wave some const magic on ki_args and
ki_env to make the direct assignment happy. This requires a tweak
to the asprintf() case to avoid a const vs. non-const mismatch.

kthread_add() takes the same parameters as the old kthread_create()
plus a pointer to a process structure, and adds a kernel thread
to that process.
kproc_kthread_add() takes the parameters for kthread_add,
plus a process name and a pointer to a pointer to a process instead of just
a pointer, and if the proc * is NULL, it creates the process to the
specifications required, before adding the thread to it.
All other old kthread_xxx() calls return, but act on (struct thread *)
instead of (struct proc *). One reason to change the name is so that
any old kernel modules that are lying around and expect kthread_create()
to make a process will not just accidentally link.

add a tdnam formatting option to ps to show thread names.

- p_sflag was mostly protected by PROC_LOCK rather than the PROC_SLOCK or
previously the sched_lock. These bugs have existed for some time.
- Allow swapout to try each thread in a process individually and then
swapin the whole process if any of these fail. This allows us to move
most scheduler related swap flags into td_flags.
- Keep ki_sflag for backwards compat but change all in source tools to
use the new and more correct location of P_INMEM.

when "blah" does not include a leading '-'.
This change also removes a long-undocumented BACKWARD_COMPATIBILITY
compile-time option, where:
ps -options arg1 arg2
(with no '-' on "arg1" and "arg2") was treated as:
ps -options -N arg1 -M arg2
This also changes `ps' to check for any additional arguments after
processing all the '-'-options, and attempt to use those arguments as
a pid or pidlist. If an extra argument is not a valid pidlist, then
`ps' will print an error and exit. This seems a more generally useful
extension of the kludge-option processing than the -N/-M behavior, and
has fewer confusing side-effects.
