[Toybox] [PATCH] Another Android roadmap update.

[enh]

while i'm on the subject, here's a quick braindump of the status of
the things still on the list:

dd
-- currently using NetBSD dd, so in no rush here.

du
df
-- need to finish the humanize_number work.

iftop
ioctl
lsof
prlimit
-- will rewrite these at some point. turns out there's an existing
prlimit with a much friendlier command-line than ours
(http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/prlimit.1.html).

ls
-- making progress on the adb/CTS side of things. hopeful we can flip
the switch this month.

log
nandread
newfs_msdos
uptime
-- ???

ps
-- toybox ps still needs a lot of work, so i'm not even looking at this yet.

start
stop
-- probably make more sense as shell scripts

top
-- a few options used in Android bug reports to implement.
