This commit just eliminates an error message no longer
needed under that newlib <pids> interface. Plus, a few
enumerators in the header weren't in alphabetic order.

This patch adapts top to exploit the new <proc/pids.h>
interface. And it appears to have reduced top's weight
by a considerable margin. Gone were the sort callbacks
and manipulation of those library flags. Gosh, all top
needs to do now is track some enumerators of interest.
[ whoa, wait just a damn minute. it now appears some ]
[ that weight loss was solely the result of a theft. ]
[ jeeze, we turn our back for just a minute & newlib ]
[ up & steals our pids hashing logic for his history ]

Now that the dust is settling following an initial API
library effort, it is apparent my naming standards may
not have always been observed. This was a minor crime,
since those standards are unwritten (& not apparent?).
Basically, top has always capitalized the first letter
of global variables in an effort to distinguish global
definitions from local variables later in the program.
So this patch alters the new API variables to conform,
while also explicitly using 'context' for key structs.
Lastly, top now employs the new '#include <proc/name>'
conventions for the new/converted module header files.

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.

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.

While the 'b' toggle remains window based (vs. global)
it should no longer require that the window be visible
and either the 'x' or 'y' toggles to be on. Previously
those requirements were intended to remind a user that
there must be something for this command to highlight.
With the introduction of graph modes (specifically the
the bar graph) the 'bold/reverse' toggle has important
implications beyond highlighting some columns or rows.
The %Cpu(s) graph and Mem portion of the memory graphs
are designed to offer a visual clue as to the separate
elements comprising them. But that separation could be
lost under some X color schemes or when top is running
without color (in monochrome mode) and the block graph
is selected. But, if the graph is then changed to bars
any separation always becomes visible whenever the 'b'
toggle is turned off. Portions then show in 'reverse'.
So from now on we'll check nothing, we'll just toggle.
[ Besides, with all the code thrown at restricting a ]
[ 'b' toggle use, it might have all been for naught. ]
[ That toggle could still be set/unset using the 'Z' ]
[ command and the color mapping screen. Geez Louise! ]

In anticipation of upcoming memory graphing provisions
the abbreviations 'Mem' and 'Swap' are being made into
individual translatable strings in order to be reused.
Additionally, the Mem 'used' amount will now no longer
included the 'buffers' and 'cached' values. Thus, each
Mem category becomes unique. This is the approach used
by tools such as 'htop' or the gnome 'System Monitor'.
Lastly, with that change to the 'used' category it has
been repositioned after 'free' on the Mem & Swap lines
making a comparison between 'total' and 'free' easier.

This commit extends the top Summary Area cpu states to
include information on Non-Uniform Memory Architecture
nodes. It is based upon changes originally proposed by
Lance Shelton who was instrumental in the final patch.
With this change, the user will have new commands that
will provide alternatives to the individual cpu stats:
. '2' toggles between cpu & numa node summary displays
. '3' provides node summary and related cpu statistics
These extensions required some minimal system support.
Typically, the numactl package (and maybe libnuma-dev)
are all that's needed to show a single node which owns
all the processors. Failing that, or for slightly more
variety, top also offers a #define named PRETEND_NUMA.

This change represents the extension of user filtering
based on inclusion or exclusion. However where 'U'/'u'
filtering provides an either/or choice, this extension
offers multiple choices applicable to multiple fields.
The 'inclusion' and 'exclusion' criteria can be freely
combined making a powerful tool to fine tune a display
and avoid clutter associated with uninteresting tasks.
I'm convinced it offers unimagined future flexibility!

Prior to this commit, top has always taken the easiest
(safest?) approach when dealing with those troublesome
SIGWINCH interrupts. Whenever the user was on a screen
other than the main display, any signal received would
force an immediate exit, returning to the main screen.
With these changes, top will retain the user's current
position regardless of what screen he/she was viewing.
In support the following additional changes were made:
* the initial help screen requires an explicit end key
` not 'any other key' formerly used to request an exit
* the colors mapping screen instructions were improved
* ^Z response was made immediate, eliminating the flag
* the sigaction's SA_RESTART flag had to be eliminated
* sigprocmask logic was normailize to the bare minimum
* the POSIX.1-2004 async-signal safe functions used in
` the signal handlers were acknowledged and documented
(everything is perfectly justified plus right margins)

Earlier this year, the switch from KiB to Mib as shown
in top's summary area was postponed to those occasions
when KiB exceeded 8 digits. In hindsight that may have
moved top in the wrong direction, given the difficulty
of digesting such large numbers of digits at a glance.
This commit adds a new 'E' interactive command used to
cycle the displayed memory amounts ranging from KiB to
TiB. Thus, users can choose the radix they wish shown.
p.s. and it will be rcfile preserved for any restarts!

This commit extends Inspect provisions for 'find/next'
to each individual selection. Thus a user can maintain
multiple active searches without having to reissue the
locate command whenever the current selection changes.
To emphasize this feature the View screen now displays
the current active locate string or 'N/A' if inactive.
Such a reminder is important when no found matches are
present on the 1st display page, given that they would
otherwise be apparent via the additional highlighting.

This commit introduces an extremely powerful, flexible
brand new capability. Now, users can pause the normal
iterative display and inspect the contents of any file
or output from any script, command, or even pipelines.
It's invoked via the 'Y' interactive command which, in
turn, is supported with simple user supplied additions
as new entries in the top personal configuration file.
A separate new 'Inspect' window supports scrolling and
searching, similar to the main top display. Except it
extends existing 'L'/'&' (locate/locate-next) commands
so that an out-of-view match automatically adjusts the
horizontal position bringing such data into view. And
it provides for multiple successive same line matches.
Also, the basic 'more/less' navigation keys are active
in this new 'Inspect' window, to ease user transition.
There are no program changes required when entries are
added to or deleted from the rcfile. And there are no
known limits to the complexity of a script, command or
pipeline, other than the unidirectional nature imposed
by the 'popen' function call which top cannot violate.
Since it's impossible to predict exactly what contents
will be generated, top treats all output as raw binary
data. Any control characters display in '^C' notation
while all other unprintable characters show as '<AB>'.
The biggest problem encountered was with the find/next
capability since that strstr guy was really diminished
given the possibility that numerous 'strings' could be
encountered *within* many of top's raw, binary 'rows'.
Oh, and another problem was in maintaining the perfect
left & right text justification of this commit message
along with all of the commit summaries. Some of those
summaries (like this very one) are of course, slightly
shorter, to make room for the 'man document' addition.
Enjoy!

As an aid to the above 2 commands, and as a prelude to
an upcoming 'inspect other output' capability, the act
of selecting a process for either has been simplified.
Positioning a task as the first one displayed, via the
up/down arrow keys, will now establish it as a default
selection for the appropriate command. Thus, that pid
will then be incorporated in a subsequent input prompt.

This commit accommodates those fields which may have
suffered truncation due to these default limits:
. 5 digits for uid/gid type fields
. 8 characters for user/group type fields
With a new interactive command, users can increase the
width of all such fields, or return to the defaults.
Note:
There are no restrictions on the amount added to
the defaults. The user is free to vastly exceed
screen limits which simply means such fields can
never be displayed.

Now that column headings are independent of column
data format and require no carefully managed padding
bytes they are candidates for nls translation.
This commit migrates all column headings to the .pot

At one time, new top silently defaulted when an rcfile
was found to be incompatible. This is exactly what
the old top did. However, after some discussion it
was decided top should alert the user and thereby
save the system administrator some headaches.
Now, some are upset over the fatal error, proving you
can't please everybody. But in all fairness, given
the difficulty of customizing old top, any reluctance
to delete an old saved rcfile is understandable.
To ease transition to this new top, old style rcfiles
will now be honored and converted to the new format.
And if not disabled at ./configure time via CFLAGS,
a user will be warned when an old style rcfile is
about to be overwritten using the 'W' command.
Lastly, the config validation logic was enhanced to
help ensure both types of rcfile haven't been edited
manually and possibly made unuseable.

This commit corrects some outdated programmer comments.
Additionally, certain nls justifications might become
increasingly obscure with the passage of time so some
previous nls commit text has been added as comments.
summary of changes:
. adopted relative paths to 'include' and 'proc'
dirs so that stand alone compiles are made
easier and no one need guess their locations
. corrected several names for enums and macro
usage reflecting fmt vs. txt
. expanded all octal escape sequences to a full
3 digits since one already required 3 digits
. finalized translator hints (for now)
programming note:
as an aside, by not including an argument for
the gettext --add-comments, any preceeding c
style comment will be propagated to the .pot
file, if the gettext macro isn't empty.
