Add -p|--pretty option to uptime(1) for pretty output.
This patch adds the -p option to the uptime(1) command, which changes the uptime displayed from something like: 10:35:52 up 2:33, 1 user, load average: 1.69, 1.65, 1.63 to: up 2 hours, 33 minutes I originally implemented this as the up(1) program about 14 years ago. In 2008 or 2009, I created a patch for procps to add this functionality to uptime and submitted it to the project. Never heard from the project and no new releases of procps had been made. Then I found out about this project and decided to port my patch to it. So here it is. This is really just for fun. There is no real technical reason to have this functionality. But even now, 14 years later, I still get emails asking where the source code for up is. So I thought it would be nice for the uptime command on Linux to sport the up functionality by default.
