Subject: [PATCH] top: provide for discontinuous (not active) NUMA nodes

Apparently there are occasions when NUMA nodes may not
always be contiguous. Under such conditions nodes that
were not used would still occupy precious Summary Area
space showing 100% idle, under the '2' command toggle.

With this commit top will no longer display numa nodes
that have no associated cpu when the '2' toggle is on.
But just in case we wish to return to former behavior,
a new #define called OFF_NUMASKIP has been introduced.

And as an aside, a recent refactor mentioned below set
the stage for this patch to be 'self-tuning'. In other
words, if an inactive/non-displayed node should become
active (if even possible), then top will begin showing
such a node automatically with the next screen update.

Unfortunately, all inactive nodes now 'suppressed' are
still accessible via the '3' command. Those nodes will
just be displayed as empty (no associated cpus shown).
This is not really a top problem but more of a libnuma
and/or user deficiency. The library lacks the means to
validate a node id and the user then input a node that
was not even shown under a '2' toggle Summary display.

( too bad libnuma does not offer an 'is_node_active' )
( type function so top could warn a user when such a )
( discontinuous node was requested using his '3' cmd )

( sure, top could achieve this objective himself but )
( that would require making yet another array global )
( which i'm just not in the mood to do - besides, we )
( have already made enough concessions to libnuma.so )

Lastly, an existing #define (PRETEND_NUMA) was changed
to 'disable' node #1 so as to simulate a discontinuous
node. This allows testing of the '2' and '3' commands.
