Yaxin Wang 01bda05819 tools/accounting/delaytop: add delaytop to record top-n task delay
Problem
=======

The "getdelays" can only display the latency of a single task
by specifying a PID, but it has the following limitations:

1. single-task perspective: only supports querying the latency (CPU, I/O,
memory, etc.) of an individual task via PID and cannot provide a global
analysis of high-latency processes across the system.

2. lack of High-Latency process awareness: when the overall system
   latency is high (e.g., a spike in CPU latency), there is no way to
   quickly identify the top N processes contributing to the highest
   latency.

3. poor interactivity: It lacks dynamic sorting and refresh
   capabilities (similar to top), making it difficult to monitor latency
   changes in real time.

Solution
========

To address these limitations, we introduce the "delaytop" with the
following capabilities:

1. system view: monitors latency metrics (CPU, I/O, memory, IRQ, etc.)
   for all system processes

2. supports field-based sorting (e.g., default sort by CPU latency in
   descending order)

3. dynamic interactive interface: focus on specific processes with
   --pid; limit displayed entries with --processes 20; control monitoring
   duration with --iterations;

Use case
========
bash# ./delaytop
Top 20 processes (sorted by CPU delay):

  PID   TGID  COMMAND            CPU(ms)  IO(ms)   SWAP(ms) RCL(ms) THR(ms)  CMP(ms)  WP(ms)  IRQ(ms)
