Commit 42f15e9848 introduced a certain
inaccuracy in -c option description; it is not _the option with an argument_,
but it is the flag that changes interpretation of `mask` parameter.
The difference is almost not noticeable, but there are one corner case where it is:
taskset -c 1 -p $$
fails (but it would work if 42f15e was correct). Instead,
taskset -c -p 1 $$
works (but it should not have if 42f15e was correct).

Done for ease of translation and maintenance. Also improve the
clarity of some of the descriptions, and of one error message.

ioprio_get and ioprio_set system call accept not only process ID but
also process group ID(pgid) and user ID(uid) to specify the target
process(es). However, ionice command accepts only process ID. With
this patch a user can specify the target processes with pgid(-P
option) and uid(-u option).

A user is always allowed to change the CPU affinity of his or her
own processes. CAP_SYS_NICE is only required to change the affinity
of another user's process.

And mention in manual that the default is referring to the internal
default of this command, not the Linux system default. Manual page
example also tries to be a little more complete how to use the command.

The unsuspecting user might use taskset -a mask command. Behavior then
is to exec with no affinity applied at all. Better handled by ignoring
all_tasks if no pid was given.

The global variable $(LDADD) is always used if program_LDADD is
not specified. Let's use $LDADD everywhere to avoid exceptions for
people who need to specify global $LDADD.

ever possible.
