[Toybox] ps and top (and Android)

[enh]

sorry, hadn't had time to look until now. notes:

* the tid column seems very wrong. in particular, i see a lot of
duplicate tids. ah, the pid/tid columns don't auto-expand and are
truncating...

GNU: 147139 130820 ?        00:00:00 default_ThreadM
toybox: 14713 13082 ?        00:00:00 default_ThreadM

* your -T is (like the desktop) showing the process name for each
thread. Android shows the thread name, which is probably what you want
if you're asking to see the threads in the first place.

* you say 0 for BIT when you don't know, rather than leaving it blank
(like Android) or using '-' (like some other ps fields). i don't think
this matters, but i've attached a patch anyway.

* there's a whitespace mixup in the help text for -O. patch attached.

* i need to send you the Android-specific cruft for scheduling policy.

other than that, i went through my old notes and i think everything
else is now done. i'll get AOSP synced this afternoon (must be friday
again!) and send you a patch for the scheduling policy names.
