("tracer") for ps to display it.

One problem is inferior(9) looping due to the process tree becoming a
graph instead of tree if the parent is traced by child. Another issue
is due to the use of p_oppid to restore the original parent/child
relationship, because real parent could already exited and its pid
reused (noted by mjg).
Add the function proc_realparent(9), which calculates the parent for
given process. It uses the flag P_TREE_FIRST_ORPHAN to detect the head
element of the p_orphan list and than stepping back to its container
to find the parent process. If the parent has already exited, the
init(8) is returned.
Move the P_ORPHAN and the new helper flag from the p_flag* to new
p_treeflag field of struct proc, which is protected by proctree lock
instead of proc lock, since the orphans relationship is managed under
the proctree_lock already.
The remaining uses of p_oppid in ptrace(PT_DETACH) and process
reapping are replaced by proc_realparent(9).

- there's no reason the semantics of the -x flag are being explained in
the -a flag description
- be more precise regarding the relation between the -a flag and the
security.bsd.see_other_uids sysctl
- describe the format of the -t flag's argument
- 'con' no longer is a possible entry in the 'TT' column
- explain that the 'TT' column refers to pseudo-terminals via mere numbers
- add a hint in the 'tt' keyword description that a keyword 'tty' exists,
which will give the full terminal pathname

- 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.

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.
