7c5169efdd For the sake of clarity, explicitly tell that comma and space
characters can be included in a custom column title string --
that's why it may appear at the end of a keyword list argument
only.

61b92b9a22 Document a detail in the present syntax of "ps -o foo=bar". Now
the header title string "bar" extends to the end of the argument
even if it contains commas or spaces, unlike in RELENG_4 or earlier.
The modern syntax agrees with SUSv3.

6aac4c27da Several improvements to ps.1:
- Document the fact that empty heading text suppresses the
	  heading line (e.g. 'ps -o pid='), as this is very useful
	  in scripts.
	- Describe logname keyword more completely.
	- Describe the printing of arguments more completely.
	- Put lockname in the correct alphabetical order in the list
	  of all keywords.
	- Correct sentence in standards section.

e4b70e6697 When displaying the "COMMAND" field for system-processes and/or kernel
threads, put the command name in square brackets instead of parenthesis.
This matches NetBSD, and also seems to be what linux does.  The sentence
which is added to the man page is taken straight from NetBSD.

a4c8a745a8 Support more POSIX/SUSv3 options:
- Change `-p' to allow a list of process IDs, and `-t' to allow a list
  of terminal names, instead of only a single value for each.
- Add the `-A' option of SUSv3, which is exactly the same as `-ax'.
- Add the `-G gidlist' (group id).
- Allow any of these "selector options" to be specified multiple times,
  and have `ps' keep adding to a given list -- instead of replacing the
  previously-specified values.
- Fix interactions between selector-options, so that: "If any are
  specified, ... ps shall select the processes represented by the
  inclusive OR of all the selection-criteria options." (from SUSv3)
- Add a `-X' option, which is the reverse of the `-x' option.

- various minor improvements in parsing and error handling.

This does not get us to match POSIX/SUSv3, but it gets us closer.  The
`-g pgidlist', `-R ruserlist' and `-s sidlist' options mentioned in
freebsd-standards are still under debate, so they skipped for now.
It should be true that this introduces no user-visible incompatible
changes, except to support "new stuff" that was not supported before.

4e8b6a6fb0 Improvements to 'ps -p <x>'. If <x> is a process id that does not exist, then
just print the header (if any) and exit, thus matching the behavior on -stable
and other OS's.

Also adds support for <x> being a comma-separated list of processes, and does
a much better checking for invalid-values of <x>, such as 'ps -p someword'.

2dda9fe910 Allow whitespace to act as a delimiter in the keywords list given to the -o,
again, but also allow it in the user-specified header, too.  This is far more
backwards compatible and SUSv3-happy than allowing only comma to seperate the
