proc: optimize single-symbol delimiters to spead up seq_put_decimal_ull

A delimiter is a string which is printed before a number.  A
syngle-symbol delimiters can be printed by set_putc() and this works
faster than printing by set_puts().

== test_proc.c

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int n, i, fd;
char buf[16384];

n = atoi(argv[1]);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
fd = open(argv[2], O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0)
return 1;
if (read(fd, buf, sizeof(buf)) <= 0)
return 1;
close(fd);
}

return 0;
