Summary: Add performance data to check_procs plugin

Initial Comment:
check_procs plugin has no performance data. It can be nice to display performance data for number of processes or zombie processes.
I have my own perfdata wrapper until this will be a part of nagios-plugins, but my wrapper has very limited functionality.
You only need to display this at end of line from check_plugin:

|procs=NUMBER_OF_PROCS;WARN_PROC_COUNT;CRITICAL_PROC_COUNT;0

Attaching my wrapper, which does this, but it's not a right way. :)
