FEATURE REQUEST: top: add command-line switch to default to View_CPUSUM

I recommend adding a command-line switch to toggle View_CPUSUM to make using top on systems with large numbers of processors simpler and more flexible. This can be accomplished with a patch similar to:

diff --git a/top/top.c b/top/top.c
