This patch will exploit some new library capabilities.
[ one will raise eyebrows, the other likely will not ]
A new 'STARTED' field was added which shows the time a
process started after system boot. As such the largest
interval represents the most recently started process.
This is the field that will likely be questioned since
it's somewhat counterintuitive. But were we to instead
use TIME_ELAPSED, the value will change with every top
refresh. This will defeat any PUFF macro optimization.
The new '%CUU' field will probably be better received.
It represents the cpu usage over the life of the task.
When a process was showing high %CPU usage, this field
can be used to determine if it's an anomaly or normal.
[ and as with %CPU, %CUU shows a '?' when running in ]

This commit introduces some new capabilities available
in libproc-2 under the <PIDS> interface. Along the way
errors impacting some item values have been corrected.
The following summarizes the major changes being made.
1. The PIDS_TIME_START item was represented as seconds
since system boot but really held tics since boot. And
some programs properly divided it by Hertz to actually
yield seconds while others acted as if it already was.
So, now we have a new PIDS_TICS_BEGAN field and all of
the 'TIME' fields properly reflect seconds. With those
'TIME' fields, the type was changed to 'float/real' so
one could convert it back to tics without loss of some
centiseconds reflected in the Hertz guy (usually 100).
2. The boot_seconds was established in procps_pids_new
meaning it was fixed/unchanging. As a result, one item
(PIDS_TIME_ELAPSED) was rendered useless. So now, each
of the three retrieval functions establishes a current
boot_seconds well before the set functions are called.
3. Added a PIDS_UTILIZATION item that will provide the
CPU usage over the life of a process, as a percentage.
4. Added PIDS_TIME_ALL_C for symmetry with the similar
item called PIDS_TICS_ALL_C (which reflects raw tics).
5. That 'derived from' notation has been added to some
additional header items to reflect their true origins.

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!

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.

Over the years the summary_show function has increased
from around 77 lines of code & comments to its current
size of 195 lines. This is well beyond an ideal length
of available screen rows. So this patch will split it.
We'll take the cpu and memory duties and make separate
functions out of them. Of course, this will incur some
additional call overhead but, given current cpu/memory
logic, any such increase really becomes insignificant.
Now summary_show's a svelte 31 lines of code/comments.

In the patch referenced below the focus task logic was
improved to ensure that newly cloned tasks 'above' the
focused task did not force an effect like the up arrow
key. That commit also acknowledged that when some task
'above' ended, it *would* act like the down arrow key.
Well, with this commit a task ending 'above' a focused
task no longer distorts the focus. That's assuming the
new '#define FOCUS_HARD_Y' is specified plus the total
focused tasks does not exceed the current screen rows.
Thus, the manual scrolling with up and down arrow keys
is allowed when the total focused exceeds screen rows.
[ but keep in mind that when a focused task has been ]
[ hardened some otherwise useful toggles will not be ]
[ available. keystrokes like 'v' and even 'F' itself ]
[ can not be applied to another task with no scroll. ]

1373 | snprintf(path, PROCPATHLEN, "/proc/%s", ent->d_name);

We know that ent->d_name will fit under 64 bytes because we check the
name starts with a digit. The first change was simple and changed the
printf to use tgid like the task function below it.
Is everything under /proc that starts with a digit a directory with a
PID only? Today, it is but there are no guarantees.
The entire function works ok if every non-pid directory doesn't start
with a number. We don't check for strtoul() having an issue nor
if the for loop just falls off the end. The moment the kernel guys
(or some module writer) think "/proc/12mykernelval" is a neat idea this
function is in trouble. We won't get buffer overflow as we are
using snprintf at least.
This change now:
We check if strtoul() actually came across a number
Process the pid directory as a conditional branch
Treat falling off the for loop as a not-found
