e5542f1fc3 free: Use wstr width and not length
The previous commit used the value from mbstowcs() to work out
the spacing required, as printf() got it completely wrong.

However, for alignment of text you don't use the string length
but the string width.

As the referenced website says:
 Use wcslen when allocating memory for wide characters, and use wcswidth to
 align text.

Which is what free does now. Chinese is still off by one but I cannot
see why this is so. It's close enough for now. If someone can work
it out, I'd love to know what the fix is.

As a side effect, #213 is fixed because we are putting the correct
number of spaces in.

French is still an issue (see #24 ) but this is because the string is
too long!

9f4db0fb56 free: Fix first column justification
free has for many years had a problem with translated header columns
or the first column. This is because printf("-9s", str) doesn't use
the wide length of the string but the char length meaning they are
mis-aligned.

Using the mbstowcs() function to get the wide length and then
a precision parameter to append the right number of spaces after the
number means we get what we need.

4cfb0fb763 pgrep: Match on cgroup v2 paths
You can match or filter on cgroup paths. Currently the match is only
done for version 2 cgroups because these are way simpler as they have
a unified name and always start with "0::".

cgroup v1 can have:
 named groups "1:name=myspecialname:"
 controllers "9:blkio:"
 multiple controllers! "4:cpu,cpuacct:"

So they are very much more complicated from a options parsing and
cgroup matching point of view.

In addition, both my Debian bookworm and bullseye systems use
v2 cgroups.

$ ./pgrep --cgroup /system.slice/cron.service

e500ba6d97 fix uid/gid > 2^31
This MR revisits a partial fix from 2018. The problem stems from incorrect
handling of unsigned 32-bit uid_ts and gid_ts as signed when values are
large - i.e. when the high bit is set. In that case, pgrep and pkill fail to
identify processes by uid. (They succeed when finding the same processes by
username.) The primary fix for this is to impliment the "FIXME" comment in
proc/readproc.h, the implementation of which allows the removal of the (int)
casts from the partial fix from 2018.

The other fixed code in this MR consists of tests in strict_atol() that
detects and errors out on overflows.

f25d462166 sysctl: Check path is under /proc/sys
sysctl would try to read/write any path you gave it either on
the command line or configuration file. It would append /proc/sys
on the path but not check for any sneaky path traversal with ../

This commit means it first resolves all paths using realpath(3)
and then checks the path starts with "/proc/sys/"

At first I thought this might be a non-issue, but perhaps someone
could put a file into the sysctl configuration path and.. do
something? Anyway its a 8-line fix and makes things more correct.

e782b1d859 ps: Add PSS and USS fields
The library added smaps_rollup fields in the referenced commit.
This commit exploits the new fields to give pss and uss options.

These options were first proposed back in 2015 by Petr Malat
and, with the library update, they are finally made it into ps.

Why use proportional or unique segment size? It is argued that
these give a better idea of the "real" memory usage of a process.

992b8b64f4 pkill: Add lt- variants
The pgrep code checks to see if the program is run as pkill or pidwait
and changes its behaviour accordingly.  Some older versions of libtool
run the programs as lt-pkill and lt-pidwait which means the tests fail.

We add these two program names to the checks.

9aa09d8862 library: Rename to libproc-2
What to call the new library?

Keep using libprocps wouldn't do, its a very different library from
the programs' point of view. It would also mean we could have some
clashes around the packages (two package names, same library name).

The ancient procps used libproc or libproc-a.b.c where a.b.c was the
package version. Kept the revision numbers down (it was always 0.0.0)
but the name of the library changed.

So if we use libproc-2 is there a clash with an ancient procps?
procps v 2.0.0 was around in 1999 so it was 22 years ago, also the
name of the library would have been libproc-2.0.0.so not libproc-2.so
so we're fine with that.

libproc-2 seems to fit, our second major re-work of the procps
library.

e36fe38835 watch: Add no linewrap option
For long lines from a process, watch would wrap them around to the
next. While this default option has it uses, sometimes you want to
just cut those long lines down.

watch has a -w flag which will truncate the lines to the number
of columns. A few simple lines to do this new trick.

I think I caught all the ANSI state correctly but there might be
a chance it bleeds to the next row.

955aaaf732 ps: Match on truncated 16 char for -C
The referenced commit the comm length was increased from 16 to 64
characters to handle the larger command names for things like kernel
threads.

However most user processes are limited to 15 characters which means
if you try something like ps -C myprogramisbiggerthansixteen this would
fail to match because /proc/<PID>/comm would only be myprogramisbigg

ps now checks the comm length and if it is 15 and if the given match
is 15 or more, it will only match the first 15 characters.

This is also how killall has worked for about a year.

Thanks to Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de> for the note.

Copy of commit from master.
