I like to use btop to monitor resource usage on servers, but it wasn't
reporting per-core CPU usage correctly on OpenBSD. I reported and got
the issue fixed upstream, but it might be a while until the next
release, so I wanted to pull that diff into ports in the mean time:

https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/pull/1587

Also, I was puzzled why installing btop pulls in a lot of desktop
related dependencies. They were just used to update the icon database
on install, but I don't even have a GUI on most machines, and the
binary itself is text only I believe. I wonder if we could live
without that and make the number of dependencies for this package a
lot leaner.

Both patches are attached. Do either or both of these look OK?
