lparstat: Fix bad cast from integer to float
    
    Fix a bug where the cpu stats (%user, %sys, %wait, and %idle) do not add
    up to 100%. The problem was that we were casting the cpu stats and the
    total cpu time to floats from ints. For large integer values, this would
    cause the floating point representation to be truncated. This solution
    avoids the casts and stores the cpu stats as long longs and only casts
    'total' to a long double in order to perform floating point division.
    
    Additionally, this patch parses the proc stat values as long longs as
    on systems that have been running for a long time, these values can exceed
    the maximum 32 bit integer limit.
