Update procps-ng from 4.0.5 to 4.0.6 for the niceos-5.2 branch.

Upstream evidence:

  • GitLab release/tag v4.0.6 exists and follows v4.0.5.
  • Provided release notes show maintenance fixes across libproc2, ps, pgrep, top, sysctl, w, and watch.
  • Security-relevant fixes are present in the notes, including a legacy config vulnerability fix in top and race/segfault fixes.

NiceOS risk assessment:

  • Risk level: medium
  • Decision: manual review before merge/push
  • No explicit CVE or documented ABI break was found in the supplied evidence, but release notes for v4.0.6 are sparse and the update touches core userland tools plus libproc2.

Required validation:

  • Clean rebuild in the NiceOS buildroot
  • Run %check and basic smoke tests
  • Verify libproc2 consumers and reverse dependencies
  • Validate top configuration compatibility and script output parsing
