apps with shared uids like the system user (1000) aren't handled well #40

There are multiple apps with certain UIDs like 1000, but Net Monitor attributes connections from all of those apps to an arbitrary one. If it's not possible to distinguish between them, it would be nice if the entries in the list for cases of multiple apps sharing a uid were altered to show that they represent multiple apps. It could be approached by showing the user name instead and showing a list of apps that might be responsible in the details.

For example, on CopperheadOS, system UID connections all get attributed to the Qualcomm atfwd app.
