Implement a cache for psutil.process_iter()

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Currently process_iter() creates a new Process instance every time is used.
Now that we cache certain process information (issue 283) it seems natural to 
implement a cache also process_iter().

Other than making process_iter() faster, an internal cache can also help users 
which no longer have to maintain a list/map of process instances in their code, 
as we currently do in examples/top.py:
http://code.google.com/p/psutil/source/browse/tags/release-0.4.1/examples/top.py
#74

This is now committed in r1355.
