This commit just tries to parallel the implementations
in the newlib branch. The config file Rc.zero_suppress
will be extended to include both out-of-memory fields.
And while we're at it, we'll also extend zero suppress
to that NI (nice value) field, which already should've
had it. Plus we trade those namespaces custom suppress
logic for our now slightly enhanced make_num function.

Since support already exists in the newlib branch this
represents an equivalent master branch implementation,
and this commit message is shared with 2 more patches.
Beginning with linux-4.5, the following new fields are
being added under that /proc/<pid>/status pseudo file:
. RssAnon - size of resident anonymous memory
. RssFile - size of resident file mappings
. RssShmem - size of resident shared memory
p.s. Locked resident memory support was also added but
isn't directly related to the kernel 4.5 enhancements.
p.p.s. Archlinux, Debian-stretch and Fedora-23 already
are currently using a 4.5 linux kernel (as of 6/2/16).

The segment may have been destroyed by the kernel automagically

How to reproduce:
sysctl -w kernel.shm_rmid_forced=1

shared memory remove: Invalid argument

In some environments, 100 * nr_active_objs is calculated at first,
and lower 32bit of the result is divided by nr_objs.
If 100 * nr_active_objs > 42949672, %use will be incorrect.

A difference in behaviour between the sysvinit and procps pidof
was that the procps one would sometimes not find process that
the sysvinit one did.
The difference is that if a space is found in argv[0] then sysvinit
would look at cmd for a match. This isn't perfect and more of a
best guess but does often work.
procps pidof now follows the same "standard". The most obvious
difference is with kde based processes and incoming ssh connections
with sshd.

After experimenting with those 4.5 kernel enhancements
to /proc/<pid>/status, that newly added overview topic
'Memory Types' was found to be in need of some tweaks.
In addition, the 'DATA' description wasn't quite broad
enough since explicit private file mappings impact it.

In response to Issue #21, the commit referred to below
provided some much needed improvements and corrections
to topic `3a. DESCRIPTIONS of Fields' in the man page.
However, it assumed a reader possessed much background
knowledge that may not, in truth, actually be present.
So without, hopefully, insulting anyone's intelligence
this patch offers an expanded discussion of some terms
and concepts within a separate section under OVERVIEW.
[ plus it affords an opportunity to incorporate that ]

Due to quirks in kernel memory management plus limited
information available from /proc/<pid>/status & statm,
some of the top resident memory fields were capable of
exceeding available physical memory. So this commit is
a bit of a band-aid until the kernel has been changed.
Such a change appears to be on the horizon in the form
of three new fields to be added to /proc/<pid>/status.
While not preventing 'resident' memory from apparently
exceeding physical memory, the new fields will help to
clarify any such contingency, if/when we exploit them.

Cygwin build support
I have added some changes to make building in Cygwin possible. Please review the changes and let me know if there are any ways I may have done anything incorrectly.
strverscmp is included to satisfy a dependency in Cygwin.
Excluded utmp and prctl functions that are not supported currently.

The commit referenced below claims to disable vertical
scrolling when idle tasks weren't being shown. However
it really addresses only a point in time when that 'i'
toggle is keyed. Left untouched were the up/down keys.
So this commit will simply finish the job of disabling
vertical scrolling whenever tasks which have used some
CPU are the only ones which are currently being shown.

Historically LFS mattered only to open/read large files. A few programs
here use open/seek, but not generally on files that are large. However,
LFS also applies to stat which procps does in a bunch of places -- some
filesystems have 64bit inodes and attempts to do a 32bit stat will throw
an error.
Enable transparent LFS everywhere to avoid this.
Multiple scanf()s use the GNU-permitted %Lu. This is not supported in
other libraries and isn't to the POSIX specification. The L modifier
is only used for floats in POSIX.
Replacing %Lu with %llu is the same for GNU libc (scanf(3) says as much)
but means other libraries will work fine.

pmap: Fix detail parsing on long mapping lines
If the mapping descriptor is longer than 128 chars, the last parsed
character won't be a newline even if the current buffer contains it a
bit further than that. The current code always interprets it as a short
fgets() read instead, and thus keeps calling fgets() until it gets a
newline, dropping valid lines and failing with the following error:
pmap: ERROR: inconsistent detail field in smaps file, line:
Rss: 212 kB
See merge request !10
There is a need in some utilities to have a way of accepting both
types of decimal points "." and ",". The only way seems to be to
rebuild strtod().
This new function will accept "123.456" and "123,456" as 123.456
and considers them the same number. It means we lose thousands
separator, but this is rarely used.
test scripts are added to check the function returns the proper
values. There was simpler predecessor that got stuck on negative
0 or -0.123 which these tests flushed out.

It is documented behavior that when certain other keys
are active, sorts column highlighting will temporarily
be disabled. Among those keys is the 'L' (locate/find)
provision. The equals ('=') key can be used to restore
column highlighting by resetting other keys, except 1.
When a locate/find is active, the '=' key will have no
effect on 'x' column highlighting, which still remains
disabled. Further, when 'L' is active an 'x' keystroke
is processed changing the state of column highlighting
but without any visual clue (since it's yet disabled).
So this commit just extends the '=' key to embrace 'L'
processing resets, just like other highlight disabling
keys while avoiding 'x' state changes if approproiate.

Craig's recent commit under that newlib branch dealing
with namespace support has prompted me to review top's
handling of those fields. Currently, when such a field
is zero, top displays a dash ('-'). This will mean the
justification toggles ('j/J') will behave incorrectly.
This patch simply allows the potential zero to display
or be suppressed with the already existing '0' toggle.

ps previously followed the Unix98 standard when it comes to
user-defined output, sometimes. This meant you could have
user output format with a header that included commas and
equals signs. It was dependent on if ps thought you wanted
sysv or bsd format and THAT was dependent on things in previous
options.
It was very confusing to a user because
ps p $$ -o pid=,comm=
gave you a two-column output but
ps -p $$ -o pid=,comm=
would give you a one column output with the header ",comm="
The -p versus p means (to ps) you want sysv or bsd parsing.
Unix98 standard or not, this is plainly just silly.
The commit removes any of the quirks Unix98 has with user defined
output. If you really wanted a ps header with commas in the output,
today isn't your day.
