Procps library previously held functions that were about either
listing or finding signal names. These are not really the right
location for a library about reading procfs.
This patch handles signal related functions in two ways:
For functions purely found in skill, these have been moved back
into this binary as they are used nowhere else.
For functions used across the binaries, these have been moved
into include/signals.h and lib/signals.c. Besides formatting,
these functions are largely the same.
To assist the skill functions, two functions to access the
signal map array have been added to lib/signals.c
This commit is mostly about eliminating code, now that
a library is responsible for the cpu tics maintenance.
The top program will continue to provide numa support,
without involving the library in any of those details.
[ not to mention all the 'dl' and 'stderr' numa crap ]
With this transfer of the cpu tics duty to our library
the provision associated with the CPU_ZEROTICS #define
could not initially be migrated. The commit referenced
below suggests it may have lost its importance. In any
case such logic may yet be incorporated in the future.
But for now, that #define has been completely removed.

There was not a way I could see to support top's needs
for cpu information with the new 'chained' provisions.
The sheer quantity of such data plus the unpredictable
number of potential processors suggested a totally new
approach was warranted while keeping internals opaque.
So this patch introduces two new structures solely for
use by potential callers (as seen in the API). They're
responsible for providing them to the library which is
then responsible for filling them with requested data.
The top program will continue to provide numa support,
without involving the library in any of those details.

Since we are not using a higher level standard C fopen
all of the read requests were made signal sensitive as
that can result in a 'temporarily' failed i/o request.
Also, protection against some user calling the 'unref'
function on already free memory has been incorporated.
This will protect us from some nasty 'Abort' surprise.

This patch mostly just eliminates darn tab characters.

have been standardized. Most visibly, the input params
now have all been indented on their own separate line.
The following names were changed to more closely match
meminfo.c or provide a certain symmetry. Unfortunately
that also impacted some other pgms which were updated.

This commit represents the pioneering attempt at using
the concept of 'chained' library requests in an effort
to reduce function call overhead. It required exposing
no more implementation details than were already shown
through the individual calls, yet is satisfied in one.
It is just such an approach that will prove invaluable
when it comes time to access individual /proc/##/data.
Programs could 'chain' only those 'results' structures
representing their current view independent of all the
fields any such programs might be prepared to display.
Thus the standard 'read', which wouldn't apply to task
level data very well (or efficiently), can now become
a 'read_chain' whereby the former PROC_FILL flags need
can be satisfied & yield the minimum open/close calls.

This patch fills in some missing fields which have top
dependencies. Additionally, I've tried to mirror those
calculations Jaromir added for release 3.3.10. The one
calculation that remains missing is 'available' memory
for some kernels. For this API, we'll use a fall-back.
Lastly the lxc safeguards which were recently added to
the old procps library were incorporated here as well.

Created new set of functions for meminfo related calls. Liked the
format of that better so changed vmstat around so the look similar.
Missed the makefile change for uptime so added it in now.
Removed the printf_uptime, binaries can do printf easily enough.
sprint_uptime split into two as there wasn't a lot of common
code
sprint_uptime(): old style uptime line
sprint_uptime_short(): short new style "uptime -p"
Hertz_hack needed this, no sane system uses the code (I think)
so just assume 100 like we do in FreeBSD.
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.

Please let's stop the nls translation insanity. With a

which surfaces with every local build. Later, before a
release, the translations can be updated in final form
then pushed just 1 more time to the gitlab repository.
I'm tired of having to always re-issue this request in
order to circumvent the problem and thus prevent a too
broad commit (not to mention some nasty side effects).

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.

This patch was made necessary by those library changes
in support of recently revised/simplified wchan logic.
In addition, this commit eliminates a broken alternate
'namelist' provision which was intended to allow users
to specify a System.map file to be used in translating
addresses into function names. But, the real effect of
the now defunct 'N' and '-n' options was to indirectly
force addresses (not names) to be displayed since such
user named map files could not be successfully parsed.
Besides when the required FRAME_POINTER kconfig option
is absent there is no address to translate and when it
is present /proc/PID/wchan is already translated. Thus
an alternate mapping is unnecessary and inappropriate.

Several Debian based distributions were recently found
to have omitted a kernel configuration option that had
the effect of rendering /proc/#/stat and /proc/#/wchan
useless for providing any 'sleeping in function' info.
That problem also prompted a reevaluation of the whole
approach to wchan matters which had grown increasingly
complex as our library evolved over the last 13 years.
The net result was a decision to rely on /proc/#/wchan
which arrived along with the 2.5 kernel. This then let
us vastly simplify the internal code plus the external
interface which will benefit both the top and ps pgms.

This commit adds a lxc container name to every proc_t.
If a process is not running in a container, then a '-'
will be provided, making such a field always sortable.
Unlike other proc_t character pointers, lxc containers
will find many duplicate shared values. So rather than
strdup 'em (with a later free required upon reuse), we
try to keep track of those already seen and share that
address among all tasks running within each container.
We rely on the lines in the task's cgroup subdirectory
which may initially seem somewhat unsophisticated. But
the lxc library itself uses a similar approach when it
is called to list active containers. In that case, the
/proc/net/unix directory is parsed for the '/lxc' eye-
catcher, with potential complications from hashed path
and names that are too long (something we don't face).
[ too bad docker abandoned lxc - our commit won't do ]

Under a lxc container, the /proc/meminfo 'MemFree' and
'MemAvailable' amounts will be equal, unless memory is
being limited via cgroups in which case 'MemAvailable'
could exceed that for 'MemTotal'. And when a container
has been nested, there exist additional memory quirks.
A program might then display used or available amounts
greater than total memory (assuming unsigned honored),
or negative values (should a signed cast be employed).
This anomaly primarily impacted the top and free pgms.
Thus, two simple sanity checks have been introduced to
avoid any illogical kb_main_available or kb_main_used.
( Busybox top & free also display anomalous although )
( different results when running in a lxc container. )

testsuite would fail if /proc/vmstat was unreadable.
Issue #3 brought up by Mike Frysinger.
test script explicitly checks to see if it is readable and
sets these tests to unsupported if not.
For the test suite, procps used to use sleep which would just
create a process or two to test the tools against. Some setups
coreutils creates all programs including sleep into one blob which
means a lot of the tests fail, see issue #2
procps has its own sleep program now.
It allows to distinguish the initial NAME (to be translated) with the
latter one (that must not be translated) and thus permits to handle its
translation differently.
