The third value from load_avg (idle) gives us almost the same
information as cpu_iowait. Plus OpenBSD does not offer an iowait value
as Linux and thus the corresponding function would not be portable.
This commit introduces the cpu_iowait item, this is the percentage
of cpu time spent waiting on disks. High numbers typically indicate
that your system is not responsive due to disk IO.
This commit also avoid sleeping inside the cpu_perc and cpu_iowait
functions: waiting in either one implies lost info for the other.

We remove the hack with the sleep and global "delay"-variable and use a
monotonic clock to derive the desired monotonic properties of the tool.
Inside each function that demands a personal delay we can then just do a
nanosleep() and be done with it.
It's a shame that timespec is so ugly to work with, but there's really
no way to make it more beautiful. However, at this cost though we
finally can set the interval times in milliseconds and not only just
seconds.
We remove setlocale(), because nothing good ever came out of this
function.
Besides that we have some more code refactoring, especially in the
argument loop which saves us a bit of complexity.
I know formatting commits suck... And I try to avoid them.
But this commit was absolutely necessary... The coding style in this
program was not ok and not the same over the whole program.
The commit is hard to read, but this is what I changed:
- Tabs for indentation instead of spaces
- Same style over the whole program (suckless style)
All the info function names started with "get_", which I removed to make
it easier for the user to configure the program to its needs.
Additionally I renamed some functions (e.g. get_ram_usage) to better
names, making it easier to extend the program with ram usage / total
functions.
