56d9d5e7e7 library: Change linux version
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.

6b8dc5511f library: refactor and rely on modern kernels for wchan
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.

505f257a8c library: remove procps_version functions
It doesn't make any sense to have the binary version strings
embedded into the library. The version strings are defined
already either in the Makefile or in include/c.h

3f3b1a59ad library: MemAvailable fallback now uses /proc/meminfo
Taking the values from /proc/vmstat was unnecessary
and prone to race conditions.

e4f0b4ebf3 library: tweak newly added MemAvailable fall-back code
This commit just ensures recalculation of some amounts
for iterative processes, like top. It also trades some
repeated runtime calls to sysconf for a one time cost.

ba6396f886 free: support for MemAvailable
This commit adds a new switch -a/--available that
appends a new column called 'available' to the
output. The column displays an estimation
of how much memory is available for starting
new applications, without swapping. Unlike the data
provided by the 'cached' or 'free' fields, this
field takes into account page cache and also that
not all reclaimable memory slabs will be reclaimed
due to items being in use.

a01ee3c0b3 procps: add support for linux namespaces
Each process in Linux has a /proc/<pid>/ns directory which contains
symbolic links to pipes that identify which namespaces that process
belongs to. This patch adds support for ps to display that information
optionally.

f7c418155a Expose freeproc for libproc
freeproc was missing from the libproc API which meant while you could
allocate proc structures, you couldn't free them!

ea221b4e42 libprocps: hide private symbols
Clean the global list of symbols contain only functions and variables which
are being called from library.  The removed symbols are internal for the
library, which means they can be changed without changes to programs using
the library.  This clean up should help incoming libprocps clean up work.

2983b30523 Renaming libprocfs to libprocps
The library used to be called libprocps but it was renamed to make sure
there was only one. However the formatting of the library SONAME has
changed so there cannot be any confusion.

libprocps makes it clear that its a library from this project and not a
set of functions directly on the filesystem.
