970a3dc990 top: provide for visual hint when overtype mode active
Given that we won't always be able to alter the cursor
shapes (from underscore to block) if in input overtype
mode, this commit will at least provide a visual clue.

[ while this libvte quirk will impact gnome-terminal ]
[ and likely others, we're able to change the cursor ]
[ shape from underscore to block at a linux console. ]

f40fc402d4 top: avoid premature forced loss of that bottom window
In the commit shown below the bottom window was forced
off if a full screen replacement function was invoked.
It did so by setting Frames_signal after calling those
routines from the keys_global function. However, there
was sometimes a possibility such action was premature.

At least two of those full screen replacement routines
may issue an error message & return without corrupting
the screen. As such, forcing off that bottom window is
totally unnecessary. It therefore should be preserved.

So this commit just moves the setting of Frames_signal
to the full screen replacement routines when possible.

3901dcb9c9 top: provides a new user 'message log' display ability
Messages issued by top will be displayed for only 1.25
seconds. And while this length of time would appear to
be acceptable (given the absence of complaints), there
will be times when a specific message might be missed.

So, this commit offers users the opportunity to recall
up to 10 of the most recent messages that were issued.

8fcd14de18 library: Return -errno not print messages
A library should generally return an error value, rather than
printing to stderr a message. procps_loadavg() had a few things
to change:

It had a global buffer, but we don't call this function over and
over except in tload. It also did had two macros where a plain
fopen() would do the job nicely.

This removed the macro FILE_TO_BUF which was used everywhere in oldlib
but only for loadavg in newlib.

This library change will set us up to fix tload.

6e661d2724 build-sys: Give sensible errors if missing pkg-config
pkg-config is used to find various libraries used by procps.
Unfortunately it, or rather automake, give terrible misleading
error messages if pkg-config is not installed.

At ./configure time you get this:
configure: error: ncurses support missing/incomplete (for partial
build use --without-ncurses)

At automake time you get this:
configure.ac:33: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:48: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_IF
configure.ac:113: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE

The internet is filled with such wonderful other examples.

This commit does two things:
 At autoconf time, check PKG_PREREQ macro is defined which is found in
pkg.m4 and tells us pkg-config has its macros available.
 At configure time, check the result of the pkg-config test and error
 if it didn't find it.

Now it actually says its missing pkg-config. To be fair, the autoconf
check is "documented" and recommended in pkg.m4 file.

8128641814 build-sys: Use ncursesw by default
The existing build system would only require wide ncurses for
a wide watch and even if the library was there would not link
anything else to it.

The first issue which #123 made me think of, is if ncursesw
was there and ncurses is not, why not use ncursesw?

A more major issue is if programs such as slabtop are linked
to ncurses, then certain languages will display their text
wrong, as found in #237.

The days of assuming ASCII only is ok are over the build system
now does the following:
 1. If ncursesw is available use this for all relevant programs
 2. If ncursesw is not but ncurses is, use this instead
 3. If you enable 8bit watch and either disable ncurses or
    we cannot find ncursesw error at configure time.

In related news, I hate M4sh.

1dd27ba3fc top: apply a special emphasis with some focus elements
Since top now uses string vectors for two items in the
new focus window (cmdline & environ), there is no real
use for that 'separator' specified at toggle time. So,
this commit will find a new use for what is the space.

Henceforth, when a user is navigating using the tab or

embedded space(s), it will be emphasized & highlighted
using the current window's message color (capclr_msg).

This commit adds a new option called `--equexit` which is the opposite

A download operation could be given as a use-case since `watch` will
exit when the output does not change anymore, in other words, when

434e224230 top: extend 'focus' navigation to shift+tab (back_tab)
Some of those bottom windows grow quite large, as with
the firefox environment. If one is navigating the data
using the tab key, it can be very inconvenient when an
element should be reexamined but that focus has moved.

Therefore, this commit will support the 'back_tab' key
which is a standard combination of the shift+tab keys.

Now a user can easily backup up to any missed element,
assuming a terminal emulator honors that terminfo key.

[ a gui emulator typically will honor the 'back_tab' ]

793f3e85ae top: fix a bug from when 'Ctrl' window was made sticky
In the patch referenced below the bottom 'Ctrl' window
was made to remain until it was dismissed by the user.

As such, it required abandoning a 'Cap_nl_clreos' used
when all the terminal rows had not been drawn. Instead
each line had to be cleared individually until the row
reserved for that 'Ctrl' window area had been reached.

Unfortunately, while a 'Cap_nl_clreos' didn't create a
problem for 'batch' mode, a 'Cap_clr_eol' used instead
yielded an unending loop if those rows were limitless.

So, now we will only clear that area when top isn't in
'batch' mode (which should have always been the case).

bc4b499ed2 top: avoid library shame with refactored 'Ctrl' window
Well darn it, whoever wrote that new library caught me
with my pants down (again?). Shoot, they were not just
down but somehow missing altogether. Here's the story.

Any item from that library supported by dynamic memory
can only be represented in user's stacks exactly once.

Should any string based enumerator be duplicated among
the items array, for any instance beyond the first the
library will return '[ duplicate ENUM ]' for a result.

That's where I lost my pants. While command lines were
given special handling (and never duplicated) I failed
to turn on CGROUPS, SUPGRPS & ENVIRON when testing the
Ctrl-G, Ctrl-U & Ctrl-N keys. If any of those 3 are on
that's when a Ctrl window sees a 'duplicate' notation.

[ and who runs top with such fields displayed anyway ]

In responding to this oops, the internals were changed
quite dramatically & vastly simplified in the process.

More importantly, the 'duplicate' results are no more.

823b6a3b1a library: Use standard major minor macros
I'm not sure why you would roll your own macros for major and minor
while the standard includes have these defined. Using our versions
causes two problems:
 - Some systems don't use this format for their minor/major
 - If the kernel proc interface becomes a 64-bit number, like
   dev_t is in the library, then our macro will need to be changed.

autoconf already had the check and as a bonus for anyone that
puts these definitions in sys/mkdev.h it handles that too.

So this is now the standard way of getting a minor/major number out of a
device id. Examining bits/sysmacros.h showed that their defines are
close to what devname.c had, except it can handle 64-bit numbers.
