libps (_proc_stat_free): Fix memory leak
The thread_waits field was never freed; this change adds the code to do so if the corresponding flag is set. Users are also warned of the consequences, namely, that they should not free process proc_stats before all their associated thread ones are gone, since the latter may reference the former's thread_waits field. However, with the normal interface (ie. ps_context_free), all proc_stats are freed at once, so this is not an issue. * libps/procstat.c (_proc_stat_free): Free ps->thread_waits if PSTAT_THREAD_WAITS flag is set. * libps/ps.h (_proc_stat_free): Document that thread proc_stats must be freed before process proc_stat can be.
