global: do not offer the renice option, let's the user handle that

It's broken anyway. Eg.:
- user is already niced at 10
- user configures to renice at 5
- breaks because user is not allowed to 'boost' his/her nice value

Bette let the user handle the renice with:
nice -XX ct-ng 'action'

    11 On sh[34]-linux, memset function does not work if 2nd argument is negative
    12 and 3rd argument is greater than 12.
    13 for example, memset(ptr, "\xda", 20) sets 0xff instead of 0xda.
    14  
    15 Attached patch fixes this problem.

    17 	* sysdeps/sh/memset.S (memset): Correct 2nd argument handling.
