the header title string "bar" extends to the end of the argument

- Describe the printing of arguments more completely.

This matches NetBSD, and also seems to be what linux does. The sentence
which is added to the man page is taken straight from NetBSD.

- Change `-p' to allow a list of process IDs, and `-t' to allow a list
of terminal names, instead of only a single value for each.
- Add the `-A' option of SUSv3, which is exactly the same as `-ax'.
- Add the `-G gidlist' (group id).
- Allow any of these "selector options" to be specified multiple times,
and have `ps' keep adding to a given list -- instead of replacing the
previously-specified values.
- Fix interactions between selector-options, so that: "If any are
specified, ... ps shall select the processes represented by the
inclusive OR of all the selection-criteria options." (from SUSv3)
- Add a `-X' option, which is the reverse of the `-x' option.
- various minor improvements in parsing and error handling.
This does not get us to match POSIX/SUSv3, but it gets us closer. The
`-g pgidlist', `-R ruserlist' and `-s sidlist' options mentioned in
freebsd-standards are still under debate, so they skipped for now.
It should be true that this introduces no user-visible incompatible
changes, except to support "new stuff" that was not supported before.

just print the header (if any) and exit, thus matching the behavior on -stable

Also adds support for <x> being a comma-separated list of processes, and does
a much better checking for invalid-values of <x>, such as 'ps -p someword'.
