[issue1408] nice(3) doesn't return new priority

[Stathis Kamperis (via DragonFly issue tracker)]

New submission from Stathis Kamperis <ekamperi at gmail.com>:

Salute.

The nice(3) library call returns 0/-1, whereas it should return the new priority
according to POSIX expectations.

I attach a patch to fix this. The nice(1) utility isn't affected in any way
whatsoever, since it doesn't use the nice(3) call. It uses get/setpriority()
directly.

If no one objects, I'll commit it in the next days.

Cheers,
Stathis
