From: Wang Yaxin <wang.yaxin@zte.com.cn>

The "getdelays" can only display the latency of a single task
by specifying a PID, we introduce the "delaytop" with the
following capabilities:

1. system view: monitors latency metrics (CPU, I/O, memory, IRQ, etc.)
   for all system processes

2. supports field-based sorting (e.g., default sort by CPU latency in
   descending order)

3. dynamic interactive interface: focus on specific processes with
   --pid; limit displayed entries with --processes 20; control monitoring
   duration with --iterations;
