[OPEN-ILS-DEV] PATCH: utils.c (*_proc_title)

This small and inoffensive patch concerns two functions in utils.c: 
init_proc_title() and set_proc_title().

1. I added some comments to explain what these functions do for a
living.

When I first started digging into the code I found these functions
very peculiar and puzzling.  Maybe some comments will enable someone
else to avoid some head-scratching.

Of course if my proposed comments are wrong, misleading, or 
incomplete, you can change them as needed.  Alternatively maybe they
belong in the header file instead.  The header has some comments
but they don't really explain the purpose.

2. I declared the __global_argv and __global_argv_size variables
static.  No other source file refers to them.

3. I removed the leading underscores from their names.  Identifiers
beginning with two underscores are reserved for the implementation.
