If we ever were to eliminate the procps.h header file,
as discussed in the thread referenced below, then that
would impair the current XTRA_PROCPS_DEBUG provisions.
The only remaining way to verify result types would be
to explicitly include that <proc/xtra-procps-debug.h>.
So, this commit will once again enable the ./configure
provision for defining the -DXTRA_PROCPS_DEBUG option.

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.

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.

escaped_copy(): only appears in ps, moved to ps/output.c
escape_strlist() only used in escape.c made static
escape_command() used in library, made internal
procps.h no longer includes escape.h
escape_str() used by library and ps so needs to be exported
definition put into procps.h including the odd define required.
Far from ideal to have it this way, will look at it another time
to have it all in, all out or split nicer so its not in the API;
perhaps a lib/ file?
readproc still had some of the old API hanging around that
was good while we were trying it out, but its time to say
goodbye:
readproc.h removed from public procps.h header file
enum ns_type - not used - removed
get_ns_name() - not defined - removed
get_ns_id() - not defined - removed
PROCTAB proc_t only used internal to library
readproctab() and 2,3 friends not used - removed
proc_data_t was used by readproctab23() - removed
readtask() - not used - removed
read_cmdline() - copy,renamed and made generic - remove original
freeproc() - not used - removed
get_proc_status - not used - removed, however there should be
a new function created that does this. Given a PID return data
about it instead of scanning the entire procfs. Maybe it already does.
Left as internal-to-library only functions:
readproc(), readeither(), look_up_our_self(), openproc(), closeproc()
Updated libprocps.sym to export only what we use.
The includes used to define a lot of things a library include
should not. It was also a bit messy what was exposed in the library
and what was not.
get_pid_digits -> procps_pid_length and exported correctly
MALLOC attribute move into relevant .c files
NORETURN attribute moved to relevant .c, not used in library
PURE attribute removed, it wasn't used
KLONG/KLF/STRTOUKL were fixed for long, so now just use long
HIDDEN attribute removed. It was for 3 functions. The PROCPS_EXPORT
seems to do the same (opposite) thing.
likely/unlikely removed from most places, its highly debateable
this does anything useful as CPUs have gotten smarter about branches.
Re-arranged the includes, ALL external programs should just #include
<proc/procps.h> then proc/procps.h includes headers for files that
have exported functions. procps.h and the headers it includes should
not use items that are not exportable (e.g. hidden functions or
macros) they go in procps-private.h
With this patch the distinction between a 'long' KLONG
and a 'long long' KLONG is being abandoned in favor of
a consistent declaration as 'long' only. Plus we would
have also defined it as 'unsigned' except there exists
much code already explicitly specifying the qualifier.

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.

Added function procps_linux_version() which used to be an
exported integer instead. Also changed the method of obtaining
the linux version (more correctly the os release) to use a specific
procfs entry. This works for both Linux and FreeBSD.
Both options provide more information about a process using -X and -XX
flags. The data comes from /proc/PID/smaps so it may vary.

procps automake defines restrict which means the binaries for procps
binaries compile. However external programs may not of defined
restrict which means they will not complie if they include files found
in /usr/include/proc.
Includes from libc6 use __restrict and if is good enough for
them, its good enough for us.
err and warn are BSD format but they are not recommended by library
developers. However their consiseness is useful!
The solution is to use some macros that create xerr etc which then
just map to the error() function. The next problem is error() uses
program_invocation_name so we set this to program_invovation_short_name
This is a global set but seems to be the convention (or at least errors
are on the short name only) used everywhere else.
A callback provision in the form of xalloc_err_handler
(of type message_fn) was added to the alloc module.
This change allowed a program like top, who alters the
termios structure, to override the default fprint(stderr...)
behavior in the event of an error.
The new function xstrdup was also added for symmetry.
