In response to that suggestion referenced below, these
changes allow display of task/thread level NUMA nodes.
Currently, only the 'top' program offers any NUMA type
support and it is limited to the Summary Area display.
With this commit both the 'top' and 'ps' programs will
be able to display NUMA nodes associated with threads.

During development, we now have a means for validating
that a type referenced in application code matches the
actual type set by the library. The new feature can be
activated through either of the following two methods:
1) ./configure CFLAGS='-DXTRA_PROCPS_DEBUG' (all pgms)
2) an #include <proc/xtra-procps-debug.h> (single pgm)
[ in the future, one could add a formal configure.ac ]
[ provision. but for now a manual approach is safer. ]
Lastly, for any module which provides a sort function,
the handling for both 'noop' & 'extra' enumerators was
made consistent. Now, 'noop' is not sorted and 'extra'
will be sorted as that module's widest supported type.

Where possible, libprocps files convey the name of the
actual source pseudo file under the '/proc' directory.
This brings diskstats into line with such an approach.

Previously there was a commit to change all noinst_PROGRAMS into
check_PROGRAMS. This was not a good idea.
check_PROGRAMS are built before TESTS are run. However they are
NOT build before the dejagnu tests are run, causing those tests
to fail.
So:
If the program is required for dejagnu, it needs to go into
noinst_PROGRAMS
If the program is required for TESTS or is one of those TESTS,
it needs to go into check_PROGRAMS
For some unknown reason, check_PROGRAMS are not built before check.
They are built before recheck and after check, which isn't very
useful.
This means any tests by dejagnu that need those programs will fail.
On my console I get a build error, the CI merrily reports the error
but considers the build OK; go figure.
The kludge adds check_PROGRAMS to be a dependency to check.
Note, TESTS don't need to be included in this, because they are
properly compliled after the dejagnu tests but before they are
run.
Where possible, libprocps files convey the name of the
actual source pseudo file under the '/proc' directory.
This patch brings slab into line with such a standard.

In an attempt to normalize the 'stat' interface, we'll
first shed any reminders of the old readproc interface
by changing file names to be more descriptive & brief.

With the configure option --enable-harden-flags the CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS are manipulated to provide some hardening protection
to the binaries.
psmisc uses these flags on by default with no troubles, however
it doesn't have a library in it either.

Generalised the library API tests and created a common
test-runner. Instead of copy and pasting the same code in
each time.
First cut of pids API test, for _new so far.
There is a need in some utilities to have a way of accepting both
types of decimal points "." and ",". The only way seems to be to
rebuild strtod().
This new function will accept "123.456" and "123,456" as 123.456
and considers them the same number. It means we lose thousands
separator, but this is rarely used.
test scripts are added to check the function returns the proper
values. There was simpler predecessor that got stuck on negative
0 or -0.123 which these tests flushed out.

The first part of fixing skill/snice to use the library instead
of directly readdir()ing /proc which is what it does now.
Remove the kill code from the skill/snice code and put common
elements into lib/signals.c Not 100% sure that is the right
destination instead of a new lib file, but ok for now.
kill shares some parsing logic with skill/snice but mainly
around signal specifications. The "do it" code is very different.

Functions related to namespaces were half-in half-out of the
procps library and didn't fit the standard naming scheme.
While struct { long ns[x]} is a bit clunky, its the only way
to "lock in" x. The alternative is to use ns_* variables.
This work was needed before pgrep could be converted.
This commit is the culmination of efforts to modernize
the library api. It should be treated as a first blush
attempt, especially since I have absolutely no library
design experience. But I did have a very strong desire
to lessen the new library's impact on the top program.
Under this new api, a 'stack' is the equivalent of the
old proc_t. It can be seen as a variable length record
whose contents & order is under complete user control.
That initial stack/record configuration is established
at procps_pids_new() time and will probably serve most
program needs. But, a dynamic & demanding program like
top will later change a stack via procps_pids_reset().
For programs like top & ps, procps_pids_reap() will be
the function that will retrieve all tasks and threads.
Any program that needs to filter / select only certain
processes or users have available other functions that
can be used: procps_pids_stacks_alloc, fill & dealloc.
This implementation attempts to maximize that existing
proven libprocps code base. As we gain more experience
such actual code can be migrated into the pids.c file.

procps v3.3.11 will bring Library API 5:0:0
The reason for the change is the removal of some calls and
the addition of others. The newlib branch should hopefully
reset some of these changes to a much slower pace.

.version is created in the top_srdir which when building normally
doesn't present a problem. When make distcheck is run, the source
directory is made read-only and it fails with permission denied.
The version of misc/git-version-gen is old and is missing the
instruction to add .version to EXTRA_DIST. This commit does just
that.
make distcheck now passes.

The calls for reading diskstat have been moved out of
sysinfo and into new files diskstat.[ch] These new
library calls follow the standard pattern for the
new libprocps.
vmstat is updated to use the new API and also got
the weighted IO time added.
vmstat -p previously would only show partitions, not
disks. There does not appear to be any good reason to
artifically deny a user to use this command on a disk,
rather than a partition so this restriction was lifted.
I also realised using int for devid means you can send
the library negative numbers, the index uses unsigned int.
Other similiar calls will need to be fixed too.

Procps library previously held functions that were about either
listing or finding signal names. These are not really the right
location for a library about reading procfs.
This patch handles signal related functions in two ways:
For functions purely found in skill, these have been moved back
into this binary as they are used nowhere else.
For functions used across the binaries, these have been moved
into include/signals.h and lib/signals.c. Besides formatting,
these functions are largely the same.
To assist the skill functions, two functions to access the
signal map array have been added to lib/signals.c
Created new set of functions for meminfo related calls. Liked the
format of that better so changed vmstat around so the look similar.
Missed the makefile change for uptime so added it in now.
Use the standard libc declarations.
For protecting the headers for C++ procps used to have its
own defines, this change makes them use the standard libc ones.
getstat() -> procps_stat_*
vminfo() -> procps_vmstat_*
These two components of the library now use the newer version of
the API with less exposed global variables. The old methods are
there for now.

pwdx doesn't actually use any of the libprocps functions but
it is linked because it is the default. This specific LDADD
removes that unrequired linking.
Several Debian based distributions were recently found
to have omitted a kernel configuration option that had
the effect of rendering /proc/#/stat and /proc/#/wchan
useless for providing any 'sleeping in function' info.
That problem also prompted a reevaluation of the whole
approach to wchan matters which had grown increasingly
complex as our library evolved over the last 13 years.
The net result was a decision to rely on /proc/#/wchan
which arrived along with the 2.5 kernel. This then let
us vastly simplify the internal code plus the external
interface which will benefit both the top and ps pgms.

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.
Use LDADD or *_LDADD instead of AM_LDFLAGS to refer to libproc.la.
Otherwise, parallel builds will break as there is no explicit dependency
to ensure the library is built before the binaries that try to link to
it.
v2: Added empty rules lib_test_*_LDADD to remove the dependency on
libproc which is not used by the lib/test_* binaries.
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`.

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.

Otherwise, automake 1.14 will warn that this option will become the
default in an upcoming release, which will cause problems for the
procps-ng build.
Now that the automake rules were merged in the top level Makefile.am,
it is possible to enable "subdir-objects" without breaking the build or
the dist.
Tested that it builds and both `make check` and `make distcheck` work.
Tested that `make install` works and produces the same tree before and
after this change. Confirmed that binaries are also placed in the same
locations in the build tree.
