ps.1: '-A' and '-a': Note change in behavior

[emaste]

The doc change should be included in the same commit that changes the behaviour

• Update base (impacts of changes earlier in the series).

These changes are way way more than the note about a vs A.... they appear to cover other things and also sort and maybe other stuff. Eachbof the logical changes should be separate

Ah, I just updated a wrong diff...

[olce]

Update with the right diff

@imp The erroneous diff was that of D49605. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes, will do that on commit.

This is a subjective claim.
The new behavior is quite annoying and surprising given how long it worked the previous way.
A sane approach would make the last flag given override the previous. ps -ap pid = -p, ps -p pid -a = -a.

And ps -p pid -a is so strange to type, I don't see it being a common case.

For me I type out ps uaxw as muscle memory and adding p pid on the end is a logical extension.

So what's the "common sense argument" for this change? I think it should be improved or reverted.
