    kern/proc: expose reaper PID and subtree root in struct kinfo_proc

    Expose process reaper metadata through struct kinfo_proc so userland
    can reconstruct reaper hierarchies from kern.proc.all without adding
    a new procctl(2) operation.

    Two pid_t fields are added by carving 8 bytes from ki_sparestrings
    (46 -> 38), restoring KI_NSPARE_INT to 2 and keeping sizeof(struct
    kinfo_proc) unchanged:

      ki_reaper: PID of the owning reaper process
      ki_reapsubtree: PID of the direct child of the reaper that roots
                      the subtree the process belongs to

    fill_kinfo_proc_pgrp() populates both fields under proctree_lock.
    kvm_proclist() is updated for crash dump consumers. The freebsd32
    compat struct and freebsd32_kinfo_proc_out() are updated accordingly.
