I added the warning to the doc request.

I’ve tested your proposal. The difference is ±2%.
I can post the results if you want me to.
So, let it be `static __thread bool fiber_top_enabled`.

I’ve resent v3 with the fixes mentioned above and one additional feature
requested by Mons (added «time» entry listing cpu time consumed by each
fiber both to fiber.info <http://fiber.info/>() and fiber.top <http://fiber.top/>())
