Optimize tabto()

tabto is used in many lines of strace output.
On glibc, tprintf("%*s", col - curcol, "") is noticeably slow
compared to tprintf("                 "). Use the latter.
Observed ~15% reduction of time spent in userspace.

* defs.h: Drop extern declaration of acolumn. Make tabto()
take no parameters.
* process.c (sys_exit): Call tabto() with no parameters.
* syscall.c (trace_syscall_exiting): Call tabto() with no parameters.
* strace.c: Make acolumn static, add static char *acolumn_spaces.
(main): Allocate acolumn_spaces as a string of spaces.
(printleader): Call tabto() with no parameters.
(tabto): Use simpler method to print lots of spaces.
