This commit adds a lxc container name to every proc_t.
If a process is not running in a container, then a '-'
will be provided, making such a field always sortable.
Unlike other proc_t character pointers, lxc containers
will find many duplicate shared values. So rather than
strdup 'em (with a later free required upon reuse), we
try to keep track of those already seen and share that
address among all tasks running within each container.
We rely on the lines in the task's cgroup subdirectory
which may initially seem somewhat unsophisticated. But
the lxc library itself uses a similar approach when it
is called to list active containers. In that case, the
/proc/net/unix directory is parsed for the '/lxc' eye-
catcher, with potential complications from hashed path
and names that are too long (something we don't face).

[ anything for the users of those kind of containers ]

Under a lxc container, the /proc/meminfo 'MemFree' and
'MemAvailable' amounts will be equal, unless memory is
being limited via cgroups in which case 'MemAvailable'
could exceed that for 'MemTotal'. And when a container
has been nested, there exist additional memory quirks.
A program might then display used or available amounts
greater than total memory (assuming unsigned honored),
or negative values (should a signed cast be employed).
This anomaly primarily impacted the top and free pgms.
Thus, two simple sanity checks have been introduced to
avoid any illogical kb_main_available or kb_main_used.
( Busybox top & free also display anomalous although )
( different results when running in a lxc container. )

Issue #3 brought up by Mike Frysinger.
test script explicitly checks to see if it is readable and
sets these tests to unsupported if not.
For the test suite, procps used to use sleep which would just
create a process or two to test the tools against. Some setups
coreutils creates all programs including sleep into one blob which
means a lot of the tests fail, see issue #2
procps has its own sleep program now.
It allows to distinguish the initial NAME (to be translated) with the
latter one (that must not be translated) and thus permits to handle its
translation differently.

build-sys: use proper dependencies on libproc.la
Use `LDADD` or `*_LDADD` instead of `AM_LDFLAGS` to refer to `libproc.la`.
This is recommended in the automake manual:

Before this commit, parallel builds may break, as there is no explicit dependency to ensure the library is built before the binaries that try to link to it.
Tested by running `make -jNN` repeatedly for different levels of parallelism to ensure the build works. Also checked that `make check` and `make distcheck` still work as expected. Also made sure that a parallel make invocation works with `make -j distcheck`.

FreeBSD has case-insensitive matching of processes in pgrep and

Before this commit, the test checking `vmstat -m` (slabinfo) output uses
a fairly strict regular expression that only allows alphanumeric
characters and a few exceptions such as "_", "-", "(" and ")".
However, recent kernels use a wider range of characters, such as ">".
For instance, see this Linux commit which creates a "page->ptl" slab:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/memory.c?id=b35f1819acd9243a3ff7ad25b1fa8bd6bfe80fb2#n4283
Other patches for reporting slab usage per memcg include the names of
the cgroup in the slabinfo output, which can include additional
characters and use dots for abbreviation.
The check should not be so string, instead it could simply look for a
chain of non-whitespace characters and that should be enough.
Tested that `make check` is still working, including in some of the
environments where features that enable the additional slabinfo names.

The current regexp checks for a \s+ in the beginning, however that will
only match if there is a \n in the `ps` output before test-schedbatch,
but that will not happen if test-schedbatch is the first process in the
list, which happens if the PID of test-schedbatch is low enough to bring
it up in the sorted list.
Fix it by enabling newline-sensitive matching with (?n) which then
allows using ^ and $ anchors in the regexp (including an optional \r
introduced by expect.) Matching the end of line also improves checking
that the last field matches 18 exactly and not something like 181, etc.
Tested that `make check` does not break and also fixed the flakiness
seen in an environment with few processes running under the test user
which made the issue more frequent.

Right now the test case is both testing it (expect_pass "$test") and
marking it as untested (untested "$test"), it should do either one or
the other, so stop marking it as untested.
Before this change, these lines appear in testsuite/ps.log or the output
of `make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--all"`:
PASS: ps SCHED_BATCH scheduler
UNTESTED: ps SCHED_BATCH scheduler
Note that the second line is confusing, it's implying that the test is
untested, right after having tested it and indicated it passes.
After this change, only the first line will appear.
Tested that both `make check` and `make distcheck` continue working with
this commit.

On most systems the only process with a SID=1 is init
and certainly not a test sleep. On docker systems this
test program IS on SID=1 and so our "impossible SID" becomes
possible.
The ps sched test has been disabled. There are too many
odd build farms this fails in strange ways.
Other odd build farms have no tty and so some tests check
for no tty and skip if not found.
The "usrbin_execdir" hack meant to install some binaries in /bin and
others in /usr/bin. However:
- It is very inflexible: not much control on the final directory name
and it is not possible to get rid of the usr/bin suffix without
patching the build system.
- It is hard to use: it requires configure to receive --exec_prefix=/
and other settings do not make much sense. It is not very obvious that
that setting needs to be passed and it takes a while to figure it out.
- It produces garbage with the default setup: the default prefix of
/usr/local ends up installing the binaries under /usr/local/usr/bin
which does not make any sense.
Furthermore, the requirement to split binaries in /bin and /usr/bin is
not that strong since some distributions adopted the /usr merge and so
would agree to just deploy all binaries to /usr/bin directly.
Distributions that would still like to split /bin from /usr/bin should
actually move binaries such as `ps` and `kill` to /bin after the install
of procps-ng is complete. After all, they are the ones responsible for
determining what are the binaries that need to be in the root partition
and that list depends on their early boot init scripts, so it is
possible that the list must be augmented with other binaries from this
package.
Therefore, I propose here to get rid of that hack and simply install all
the binaries to bindir instead, which solves the problems described
above and simplifies the build and install of procps-ng.
Tested that it builds and both `make check` and `make distcheck` work.
Tested that `make install` works and produces the expected tree, the
only difference being the absence of the bogus /usr/local/usr/bin
directory and now all binaries are merged into /usr/local/bin as
expected.

Free always used 1024 based units but used the confusing old style
kilo,mega etc.
This change changes the names to kibi,mebi for 1024 based divisors
and kilo,mega for 1000 based divisors or IEC units.
It also checks if you try to set two units, e.g free -k -m
Petabyte and Pebibyte have been added.
If you used to use the long options such as --mega these will now
actually print megabytes (they previously printed mebibytes).
The short options are being used on the IEC units

pmap would previously print the process name if

reads failed. This actually occurs with other users
PIDs.
Kernel 3.18rc1 introduced a change where the file could
not been opened, meaning pmap -X 1 previously showed
the process name and nothing else but NOW shows nothing
make check failed because of this.
This change prints the process name even before trying to open
the file, returning it to previous behaviour.
