top: refresh interval accepts non-locale decimal value
For the past 3 years top has fully honored that locale
LC_NUMERIC setting which impacts his refresh interval.
For the past nearly 5 years top has saved that refresh
value in a locale independent form in his config file.
With this commit we'll intentionally break top so that
a comma or period will be accepted for the radix point
regardless of what that LC_NUMERIC may have suggested.
The current locale LC_NUMERIC will, however, determine
how the delay interval is displayed in the 'd' prompt.
[ This position is better than the approach employed ]
[ by those coreutils 'sleep' and 'timeout' programs. ]
[ Both claim to permit floating point arguments. But ]
[ neither one will accept the comma separator should ]
[ the locale be a country that in fact uses a comma. ]
