Description

Once we have /proc/<PID>/fdinfo, the code for netstat -u can be simplified using the associated new libproc interfaces, and also made to work properly in any zone brand which uses a /native namespace (for example, lx on SmartOS and OmniOS)

Ran tests to compare the output of various invocations of netstat from before and after this change and observed no difference (save things like counters incrementing between runs)

There's also a speed difference, with the new version being faster (this on a relatively loaded web server)
