Make it clearer that CMD is the thread name.
It should come as no surprise to those who followed the development of this that it's not well known which of the various names is actually the thread name. Adding "thread" to the ps --help output seems like a good idea. I'm also assuming that "stat2" was meant to read "stat[2]", since that's how it mostly appeared on the list while discussing this. Still fits in 80 columns.
