[PATCH] Use decimal for PTRACE_ATTACH and PTRACE_DETACH.

It is sure confusing that linux/ptrace.h has:
#define PTRACE_SINGLESTEP    9
#define PTRACE_ATTACH 0x10
#define PTRACE_DETACH 0x11
#define PTRACE_SYSCALL   24
All the low-numbered constants are in decimal, but the last two in hex.
It sure makes it likely that someone will look at this and think that
9, 10, 11 are used, and that 16 and 17 are not used.

How about we use the same notation for all the numbers [0,24] in the
same short list?
