If the special bottom 'window' routines remain unaware
of potential multi-byte characters, that heading could
be truncated prematurely and unnecessary blank line(s)
added to the reserved rows at the bottom of a display.
So, in both cases, this patch will now account for any
difference between string lengths and display columns.

This patch attempts to reduce the proliferation of the
bottom window support routines by combining the 'misc'
with 'item' functions. Along the way we can now rename
those two 'pick' functions 'menu' while keeping proper
alphabetic order among all the bottom window routines.

pkg-config is used to find various libraries used by procps.
Unfortunately it, or rather automake, give terrible misleading
error messages if pkg-config is not installed.
At ./configure time you get this:
configure: error: ncurses support missing/incomplete (for partial
build use --without-ncurses)
At automake time you get this:
configure.ac:33: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:48: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_IF
configure.ac:113: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
The internet is filled with such wonderful other examples.
This commit does two things:
At autoconf time, check PKG_PREREQ macro is defined which is found in
pkg.m4 and tells us pkg-config has its macros available.
At configure time, check the result of the pkg-config test and error
if it didn't find it.
Now it actually says its missing pkg-config. To be fair, the autoconf
check is "documented" and recommended in pkg.m4 file.

The existing build system would only require wide ncurses for
a wide watch and even if the library was there would not link
anything else to it.
The first issue which #123 made me think of, is if ncursesw
was there and ncurses is not, why not use ncursesw?
A more major issue is if programs such as slabtop are linked
to ncurses, then certain languages will display their text
wrong, as found in #237.
The days of assuming ASCII only is ok are over the build system
now does the following:
1. If ncursesw is available use this for all relevant programs
2. If ncursesw is not but ncurses is, use this instead
3. If you enable 8bit watch and either disable ncurses or
we cannot find ncursesw error at configure time.
In related news, I hate M4sh.

Since top now uses string vectors for two items in the
new focus window (cmdline & environ), there is no real
use for that 'separator' specified at toggle time. So,
this commit will find a new use for what is the space.
Henceforth, when a user is navigating using the tab or
backtab keys, should a strv element with focus contain
embedded space(s), it will be emphasized & highlighted
using the current window's message color (capclr_msg).

This commit adds a new option called `--equexit` which is the opposite
of `--chgexit`. This option makes it possible to exit when the output
of the given command does not change for the given number of cycles.
A download operation could be given as a use-case since `watch` will
exit when the output does not change anymore, in other words, when
the download is completed.

This commit just brings that 'bot_focus_strv' function

Some of those bottom windows grow quite large, as with
the firefox environment. If one is navigating the data
using the tab key, it can be very inconvenient when an
element should be reexamined but that focus has moved.
Therefore, this commit will support the 'back_tab' key
which is a standard combination of the shift+tab keys.
Now a user can easily backup up to any missed element,
assuming a terminal emulator honors that terminfo key.
[ a gui emulator typically will honor the 'back_tab' ]

After satisfying increased buffer size in the previous
patch, I decided to improve the highlight accuracy for
both the command lines plus the environment variables.
Since they both may contain elements which themselves
include embedded spaces, to accomplish this goal, one
must trade vanilla strings for string vectors instead.

As it turns out, some of the 'environ' strings are big
enough to overrun the initial buffer sizes. And, while
no real harm was done (other than to silently truncate

declarations along with correcting a couple typos too.

In that commit shown below, the concept of a corrupted
display was introduced so that 'Ctrl' windows could be
redrawn now that they were made more persistent. Well,
it turns out there is another case where redrawing was
necessary. That is when transitioning between task and
thread modes. So this patch addresses those occasions.

In the patch referenced below the bottom 'Ctrl' window
was made to remain until it was dismissed by the user.
As such, it required abandoning a 'Cap_nl_clreos' used
when all the terminal rows had not been drawn. Instead
each line had to be cleared individually until the row
reserved for that 'Ctrl' window area had been reached.
Unfortunately, while a 'Cap_nl_clreos' didn't create a
problem for 'batch' mode, a 'Cap_clr_eol' used instead
yielded an unending loop if those rows were limitless.
So, now we will only clear that area when top isn't in
'batch' mode (which should have always been the case).

Well darn it, whoever wrote that new library caught me
with my pants down (again?). Shoot, they were not just
down but somehow missing altogether. Here's the story.
Any item from that library supported by dynamic memory
can only be represented in user's stacks exactly once.
Should any string based enumerator be duplicated among
the items array, for any instance beyond the first the
library will return '[ duplicate ENUM ]' for a result.
That's where I lost my pants. While command lines were
given special handling (and never duplicated) I failed
to turn on CGROUPS, SUPGRPS & ENVIRON when testing the
Ctrl-G, Ctrl-U & Ctrl-N keys. If any of those 3 are on
that's when a Ctrl window sees a 'duplicate' notation.
[ and who runs top with such fields displayed anyway ]
In responding to this oops, the internals were changed
quite dramatically & vastly simplified in the process.
More importantly, the 'duplicate' results are no more.

I'm not sure why you would roll your own macros for major and minor
while the standard includes have these defined. Using our versions
causes two problems:
- Some systems don't use this format for their minor/major
- If the kernel proc interface becomes a 64-bit number, like
dev_t is in the library, then our macro will need to be changed.
autoconf already had the check and as a bonus for anyone that
puts these definitions in sys/mkdev.h it handles that too.
So this is now the standard way of getting a minor/major number out of a
device id. Examining bits/sysmacros.h showed that their defines are
close to what devname.c had, except it can handle 64-bit numbers.

To complete the implementation of this new feature, we
must address the problem created by any commands which
offer their own full replacement displays. Should that
'Ctrl' bottom window be active, a return from any such
command leaves that lower portion of a terminal blank.
While we could issue a 'TAGGED_TOSS' macro right after
invoking any of those 4 (currently) affected commands,
it is wrong to make them aware of this 'tagged' stuff.
So, I'll opt for a more generalized solution whereby a
notice regarding a corrupted screen is broadcast. Then
the logic already aware of 'tagging' can deal with it.

After making that new bottom window more persistent, I
decided to offer a build choice for somebody who might

If 'TAGGED_BRIEF' is defined old behavior is restored.
[ it should be noted, however, that when this define ]

I grew tired of inadvertently causing a premature exit
from top when all I wanted was to review some process'
environment variables. That 'V' key was just too close
to the 'C' key so the '^V' attempt became one of '^C'.
Well, not any more. Should a user wish to see a task's
environment, it will now require the '^N' combination.
[ it also now places G/U & N/K on a similar diagonal ]
Along the way, lower case Ctrl key combinations on the
help screen were all changed into upper case versions.

After using this new feature for awhile, I encountered
numerous times when that 'Ctrl' window would disappear
as I was studying the contents. This was caused by the
death of the target task but it made me think that the
window could/should persist until dismissed by a user.
Well, now it will persist until that same Ctrl key has
been struck a 2nd time or a different Ctrl key used to
target another process after positioning it on row #1.
So now, instead of that former 'moving target' type of
approach, this window is more of a 'snapshot' in time.
[ even more significant, perhaps, is the fact that a ]
[ Ctrl window will now be drawn exactly 1 time only, ]
[ instead of being repainted after each delay cycle. ]
[ this will remain true no matter how many intervals ]
[ might elapse while its contents were under review. ]

When support for the 'LIBPROC_HIDE_KERNEL' environment
variable was introduced, a deficiency was present that
allowed any rejected proc_t (i.e. a kworker thread) to
preserve the strdup'd 'cmd' value. That residual value
would prevent stat2proc or status2proc from updating a
cmd field with the proper program name for some tasks.
This patch just ensures a proc_t is freshened whenever
it has been rejected due to an active PT->hide_kernel.
