This updates to 4.87.  The only changes to the Linux version are that it fixes identification of two file types.

One is identified as TYPE 0000 and NAME anon_inode in 4.86.  Now it identifies those as TYPE a_inode and for NAME it can actually identify what they are.

The other is sockets (TYPE sock), where for NAME in 4.86 it would say "can't identify protocol" it now in 4.87 says "protocol: UDP" or "protocol: TCP" and it can identify ICMP as well.

I tested this in Cauldron by diffing the lsof output between the two versions, and can see the two fixes do actually work, it's pretty nice.
