Also extend procstat to view select members of 'struct ptrace_lwpinfo'

kinfo_proc::ki_tdname is three characters shorter than
thread::td_name. Add a ki_moretdname field for these three
extra characters. Add the new field to kinfo_proc32, as well.
Update all in-tree consumers to read the new field and assemble
the full name, except for lldb's HostThreadFreeBSD.cpp, which
I will handle separately. Bump __FreeBSD_version.

- Add an -H flag to request information about threads rather than processes
when dumping statistics. Currently it is only used for -r to display
resource usage for individual threads instead of the entire process.

So now one can run procstat(1) on a process core e.g. to get a list of
files opened by a process when it crashed:

capability mode and capabilities.
Right now no attempt is made to unwrap capabilities when operating on
a crashdump, so further refinement is required.

file and processes information retrieval from the running kernel via sysctl
in the form of new library, libprocstat. The library also supports KVM backend
for analyzing memory crash dumps. Both procstat(1) and fstat(1) utilities have
been modified to take advantage of the library (as the bonus point the fstat(1)
utility no longer need superuser privileges to operate), and the procstat(1)
utility is now able to display information from memory dumps as well.
The newly introduced fuser(1) utility also uses this library and able to operate
via sysctl and kvm backends.
The library is by no means complete (e.g. KVM backend is missing vnode name
resolution routines, and there're no manpages for the library itself) so I
plan to improve it further. I'm commiting it so it will get wider exposure
and review.
We won't be able to MFC this work as it relies on changes in HEAD, which
was introduced some time ago, that break kernel ABI. OTOH we may be able
to merge the library with KVM backend if we really need it there.

of the missing functionality from procfs(4) and new functionality for
monitoring and debugging specific processes. procstat(1) operates in
the following modes:
-b Display binary information for the process.
-c Display command line arguments for the process.
-f Display file descriptor information for the process.
-k Display the stacks of kernel threads in the process.
-s Display security credential information for the process.
-t Display thread information for the process.
-v Display virtual memory mappings for the process.
Further revision and modes are expected.
