Tobias Kortkamp 3731c0940a sysutils/htop: Add a new default LSOF option
htop only requires lsof for its open files view.  Move the lsof run
dependency to an option so that it can be removed by users.

htop is an enhanced version of top, the interactive process viewer,
which can display the list of processes in a tree form.
Comparison between 'htop' and 'top'
* In 'htop' you can scroll the list vertically and horizontally
to see all processes and full command lines.
* In 'top' you are subject to a delay for each unassigned
key you press (especially annoying when multi-key escape
sequences are triggered by accident).
* 'htop' starts faster ('top' seems to collect data for a while
before displaying anything).
* In 'htop' you don't need to type the process number to
kill a process, in 'top' you do.
* In 'htop' you don't need to type the process number or
the priority value to renice a process, in 'top' you do.
* In 'htop' you can kill multiple processes at once.
* 'top' is older, hence, more tested.
