top: address the missing 'guest' tics for summary area
Well this is embarrassing. After repeatedly flogging a
horse (represented by issue #274) I was certain it was
dead. But, it turns out that the darn thing yet lived.
In fact, the bug that was patched was not even the one
the poster experienced. Now merge request #173 finally
penetrated my foggy brain and explicated the real bug.
Since forever (linux 2.6), top has ignored those guest
and guest_nice fields in /proc/stat. When many virtual
machines were running that overhead went unrecognized.
So, this commit simply adds those tics to the 'system'
figures so that it can be seen in text or graph modes.
