[hobbit] format for CPU data?

There is a native backend for z/VM, it was integrated into Hobbit some 
time ago.  It appears that Thomas wants to consolidate the CPU, Users 
and Procs into one column.  I took a different approach, that since 
there was already a procs column reported by other clients, that the 
information that translated best to procs on z/VM was reported there.

The concept of users and procs is somewhat blurred on z/VM, so I didn't 
differentiate the two.  Some shops (it appears that his is one of them) 
have a clear demarkation of who a user is, based on their userid.
