Potential Fix

vmstat -z currently has:
- a missing space in the column header between SIZE and LIMIT
- a missing space in the column header between FAIL and SLEEP
- inconsistent column spacing between header and values for REQ, FAIL, SLEEP, and XDOMAIN columns

The included diff uses the following column sizes:
- REQ is 8 bytes (could also be 4 bytes if libxo doesn't mind having values sized differently than 'requests' field name)
- SLEEP is 5 bytes (to fit column name)
- XDOMAIN is 7 bytes (to fit column name)

N.B. Could also make SLEEP and XDOMAIN column sizes be 6 and 8, but then the default length would exceed 80 characters.


Current output:
