sysstat 11.5.7

[Pierre Labastie]

New point version:

Improvements added here mainly concern the iostat command: New metrics added
to the extended statistics report, a new switch (-s) to display a short
(narrow) version of the report that will fit in 80 characters wide screens,
the JSON output that now depends on options used... Also to be noted: Several
metrics (from iostat and sar) are now expressed in kilobytes instead of 
sectors.
Last but not least, this development version includes a set of bugfixes that
you will also find in the 11.4.x and 11.2.x series.
