This commit improves display performance when the user
has scrolled horizontally past the end of a top 'row'.
We can avoid the need to memset our buffer with spaces
and putp those spaces individually by exploiting logic
that already exists. If one '\n' character is inserted
into the buffer instead, the next terminfo string sent
will be Cap_clr_eol achieving exactly the same effect!
(now that we know a '.' + 2 spaces is squeezed to one)
(everything's perfectly justified, but it's just luck)

This commit introduces an extremely powerful, flexible
brand new capability. Now, users can pause the normal
iterative display and inspect the contents of any file
or output from any script, command, or even pipelines.
It's invoked via the 'Y' interactive command which, in
turn, is supported with simple user supplied additions
as new entries in the top personal configuration file.
A separate new 'Inspect' window supports scrolling and
searching, similar to the main top display. Except it
extends existing 'L'/'&' (locate/locate-next) commands
so that an out-of-view match automatically adjusts the
horizontal position bringing such data into view. And
it provides for multiple successive same line matches.
Also, the basic 'more/less' navigation keys are active
in this new 'Inspect' window, to ease user transition.
There are no program changes required when entries are
added to or deleted from the rcfile. And there are no
known limits to the complexity of a script, command or
pipeline, other than the unidirectional nature imposed
by the 'popen' function call which top cannot violate.
Since it's impossible to predict exactly what contents
will be generated, top treats all output as raw binary
data. Any control characters display in '^C' notation
while all other unprintable characters show as '<AB>'.
The biggest problem encountered was with the find/next
capability since that strstr guy was really diminished
given the possibility that numerous 'strings' could be
encountered *within* many of top's raw, binary 'rows'.
Oh, and another problem was in maintaining the perfect
left & right text justification of this commit message
along with all of the commit summaries. Some of those
summaries (like this very one) are of course, slightly
shorter, to make room for the 'man document' addition.
Enjoy!

As an aid to the above 2 commands, and as a prelude to
an upcoming 'inspect other output' capability, the act
of selecting a process for either has been simplified.
Positioning a task as the first one displayed, via the
up/down arrow keys, will now establish it as a default
selection for the appropriate command. Thus, that pid
will then be incorporated in a subsequent input prompt.

Possibly by a side-effect but pkill -c option used to work which would
print the number of killed processes. This small change restores this

An earlier commit improved the scroll coordinates
message performance by offloading most of the work
to those occasions when column headers were rebuilt.
The only remaining per-frame costs were the addition
of some terminfo escapes and the Frame_maxtask count.
This commit further reduces those per-frame costs to
the absolute minimum.

Current linux kernels output no more than 32 groups
in /proc/{pid}/status.
Plan is to increase this limit.
This patch allows ps to not core dump if the buffer used to read status
file was too small.
# ps aux
Signal 11 (SEGV) caught by ps (procps-ng version 3.3.3).
ps:display.c:59: please report this bug
Also increases the size of the buffer from 1024 to 4096, since even with
32 groups we are close to the limit.

The 'refactor and enhance column width management'
recent redesign produced many subsequent benefits,
the latest of which is automatically sized fixed-width
non-scalable columns.
As expected, there was a cost associated with these
many enhancements. That cost has now been identified
as a 1-4% performance degradation, depending on which
fields are being displayed.
This increased cost arises principally from current
drawing related function calls, whereas top-3.3.3 did
most of its drawing via macros effectively inlining
those duties.
This commit inlines the equivalent drawing functions,
thus eliminating the function call penalty, and places
this top on a par with top-3.3.3. The trade off is a
modest additional 4k in executable size.

The recent introduction of a column widths override
(the 'X' command) provided for a user input amount
to be added to default field size which ranged from
5 to 10 bytes.
While that approach could prevent truncated data, the
different default sizes would almost certainly mean
some precious screen real estate was waisted.
This commit introduces the concept of dynamic widths
where top will add only enough to a field default to
prevent truncation for that specific field.
Now users have a choice between their explicit width
override or a width chosen by top to exactly match
display needs. The former is immediate but likely
wastes some horizontal space while the latter is
iterative but will be sized precisely.
Original 'X' Command:

There were some gaps in the alternate navigation keys
top provided. Additionally, some inconsistencies
existed in the supporting key table.
This commit adds the following new key equivalents,
mirroring the standard vim navigation keys:
. ctrl+alt+ k = pgup, ctrl+alt+ j = pgdown
. ctrl+alt+ h = home, ctrl+alt+ l = end
Also, the supporting table entries now consistently
follow these "directions":
. up/pgup, down/pgdown, left/home, right/end

To support the cursor navigation keys, after saving
the termios structure top issues 'smkx/keypad_xmit'
during startup. However, some terminals appear to
treat that directive as persistent which leaves a
corrupted tty state after top exit.
This commit reverses the above terminal directive
via 'rmkx/keypad_local' just prior to restoring the
saved termios structure at program end.
For discovering this bug, and providing the 'rmkx'
clue to its solution, thanks to:

This 'Sleeping in function' field was made variable
width because the length of current kernel symbols
usually exceeded the former top's 9 character limit.
As a variable width field it would steal valuable
horizontal display positions from other, more likely,
displayed fields such as COMMAND or CGROUPS.
With the advent of the new 'X' toggle, no fixed-width
non-scalable field need suffer permanent truncation.
Thus, WCHAN is being made fixed width with a default
size of 10 characters.

This commit accommodates those fields which may have
suffered truncation due to these default limits:
. 5 digits for uid/gid type fields
. 8 characters for user/group type fields
With a new interactive command, users can increase the
width of all such fields, or return to the defaults.
Note:
There are no restrictions on the amount added to
the defaults. The user is free to vastly exceed
screen limits which simply means such fields can
never be displayed.
