1c8028901e top: prepare for more than two abreast summary display
I guess the cat's out of the bag with the prior commit
message. It mentioned the objective of displaying more
than the current two cpu graphs on summary area lines.

On the way to that objective, this patch just prepares
our battlefield for the actual implementation in which
up to 8 individual cpu graphs will be shown on 1 line.

[ no logic has been impacted with this commit. we're ]
[ just adding one manifest constant, trading several ]
[ identifiers and updating some comments so the next ]
[ commit might be just a little bit more manageable. ]

8c69e66a1a top: better graphic scaling in cpu/mem summary display
This program has always been sensitive to the width of
a terminal/console. The detailed cpu/memory statistics
plus all of those full screen replacement windows were
designed to fit within some 80 column, 24 row display.

When a user narrowed a gui terminal to less than those
dimensions, top would simply truncate the data to fit.
However, when displaying cpu/mem graphs instead of the
detailed statistics such truncation was not justified.
After all, such graphs were already scaled to 80 cols.

Henceforth, when in graph mode, truncation won't occur
until the graphs will no longer fit within 10 columns.

[ can you keep a secret? this change is really being ]
[ made in anticipation of showing more than just two ]
[ cpu graphs in the summary area on each screen row! ]

2d5b51d1a2 top: refactor graph support of cpu/mem summary display
The logic (illogic?) in the sum_tics() and do_memory()
functions has grown to become almost unfathomable over
time. Additionally, though perhaps not apparent in the
code, many steps are duplicated within those routines.

So, this patch refactors all the summary graph support
to consolidate duplicated code and (hopefully) make it
more understandable with an eye to future maintenance.

[ additionally, that show_special guy's workload has ]
[ been reduced by eliminating any special directives ]
[ previously embedded in some cpu graphs even though ]
[ a cpu may have been idle during the last interval. ]

08d0f377a7 top: eliminate that 'TOG4_NOTRUNC' compile conditional
When 2 abreast cpu display was introduced, the minimum
screen width was 160 columns so as to avoid (minimize)
truncation. Later that was reduced to 80 columns while
keeping the original minimum as a compile conditional.

In preparation for (virtually) eliminating these width
restrictions in a future patch this #define's history.

d9c45988f7 top: eliminate that 'TOG4_NOFORCE' compile conditional
When two abreast display was introduce, in that commit
shown below, this #define provision was also added. It
actually was an artifact left from program development
and never made much sense in a real world application.

If activated it would make the '4' toggle appear to be
broken since it would only take affect if a user first
activated individual cpu display (the '1' toggle off).
And there was no error message offered to those users.

So, this questionable #define is now being eliminated.

4b44ab98c1 pgrep: Add support for ignoring ancestors with -A/--ignore-ancestors
pgrep and friends naturally filter their own processes from their
matches. The same issue can occur when elevating with tools like sudo or
doas, where the elevating shim layers linger as a parent and are
returned in the results. For example:

    % sudo pkill -9 -cf someelevatedcmdline
    1
    zsh: killed     sudo pkill -9 -cf someelevatedcmdline

This is a situation we've actually seen in production, where some poor
soul changes how permission management works (for example with Linux's
hidepid option), needs to elevate a pgrep or pkill call, and now ends up
with more than they bargained for. Even after the issue is noticed,
resolving it requires reinventing some of the pgrep logic, which is
unfortunate.

This commit adds the -A/--ignore-ancestors option which excludes pgrep's
ancestors from the results:

    % sudo ./pkill -9 -Acf someelevatedcmdline
    0

We looks at multiple layers of the process hierarchy because, while
things like sudo only have one layer of shimming, some mechanisms (like
those found in a typical container manager like those found in Docker or
Kubernetes) may have many more.

52bd019d8c library: refactor flawed function fatal_proc_unmounted
This commit addresses a potentially disastrous flaw in
that fatal_proc_unmounted() function wherein requested
item(s) might not have been returned to the caller yet
were specified at the time of a 'new' or 'reset' call.

The root cause, uncovered by Craig, was due to the old
library look_up_our_self() support function which only
would populate a proc_t with limited 'stat' file data.

This routine will now act the same as all other <pids>
functions which return a stack or stacks. Whatever was
specified with a 'new' or 'reset' will be returned, if
the passed 'return_self' parameter is other than zero.

[ as is so often the case, when flawed code is fixed ]
[ former complexity can be reduced as a side benefit ]

While procps_pids_new() will allow you to specify any items you

will only fill in the values found in /proc/self/stat.

Added a caveat to the procps_pids manpage pointing out this
limitation.

80e2a7a682 top: eliminate a potential abend when exiting 'A' mode
In that issue cited below, Tyson Nottingham identified
a potential abend which was associated with 'alternate
display mode' plus that troublesome 'mkVIZrow1' macro.
He also offered a perfectly adequate fix for that bug.

I refer to that macro as troublesome since it's now so
widely used and sometimes (by design) causes 'begtask'
to go negative (invalid). And now I found yet one more
place where it should have been used but wasn't ('f').

It's also troublesome as evidenced by some git history
listed below. Heck, there was even a commit addressing
the same symptoms (alternate display mode abend) which
Tyson suffered. Clearly, the current design is flawed.

So, with those two issues in mind, I've refactored the
approach to maintaining a visible task in the 1st row.
Henceforth, a 'mkVIZrow1' macro will be issued in only
two places: once at startup and after most keystrokes.

Such an approach likely results in additional calls to
the 'window_hlp' routine that aren't really necessary.
But, it provides a cleaner design less prone to errors
in the future. Besides, such additional overhead would
only be incurred when interacting with the user. Thus,
new costs are of no concern and will never be noticed.

b0adacf1ea top: if line editing, account for invisible characters
If we're deleting a character or operating in overtype
mode, we must account for the potential of 'invisible'
characters. When one follows any character about to be
deleted or replaced both multi-byte sequences must go.

Without this change, there exists the possibility that
top might report some error where no error is apparent
to the user. For example, with 'other filtering' (o/O)
the user could see "unrecognized field name 'COMMAND'"
where the quoted column name appears perfectly normal.

Or maybe a sequences like the 'combining acute accent'
gets applied to an existing character instead of being
deleted as one expects when its parent was eliminated.

So, henceforth whenever any character is being deleted
we will now check for a following 'invisible' sequence
then eliminate it along with that preceding character.

[ admittedly, these scenarios are very rare yet they ]
[ may occur, especially when recalling some previous ]
[ multi-byte strings for editing. and, since we will ]
[ be interacting with a user, performance won't be a ]
[ factor so extra checks for a zero wcwidth is fine. ]
