top: introduce a plug-in approach for the NUMA support

The NUMA/Nodes support in top has gone through several
evolutions (primarily dealing with build-sys options).
With this commit the library dependency issues are now
moot and the responsibilities for run-time loading and
dynamic linking are assumed by the top program itself.

Henceforth, if top is executed in an environment where
libnuma.so is present, top will offer such extensions.
Even more importantly, when a missing libnuma is later
installed, top will offer numa support auto-magically.
All NUMA/Node build-sys dependencies are thus removed.

The former NUMA_ENABLED define has become NUMA_DISABLE
should anyone wish to test user interface implications
in an environment that *does* have libnuma. It is also
represented as the ./configure option: --disable-numa.

Lastly, the 't' (View_STATES) toggle will be forced on
for sanity whenever the '1', '2' or '3' keys are used.
