With the new perspective on potential uses of a 'noop'
enumerator (or whatever we decide to call it) there is
no longer a need to provide for any extra 'user' space
in the stack header structures used by slab & meminfo.

In addition to that text shown below the line which is
common to several commit messages, this patch contains
several minor changes with lessor impact upon the API:
. A 'read' was added to function procps_slabnode_count
(but only when necessary, i.e. info->nodes_used == 0).
. The #include header files are ordered alphabetically
now, with all those <sys/??> types separately grouped.
------------------------------------------------------
. The former 'chains' have now become 'stacks' without
the 'next' pointer in each result struct. The pointers
initially seemed to offer some flexibility with memory
allocations and benefits for the library access logic.
However, user access was always via displacement and a
a statically allocated chain was cumbersome to define.
. An enumerator ending in '_noop' will no longer serve
as a fencepost delimiter. Rather, it has become a much
more important and flexible user oriented tool. Adding
one or more such 'items' in any items list passed into
the library becomes the means of extending the 'stack'
to also include user (not just library) data. Any such
data is guaranteed to never be altered by the library.
. Anticipating PID support, where many different types
must be represented in a result structure, we'll adopt
a common naming standard. And, while not every results
structure currently needs to reflect disparate types a
union will be employed so the same dot qualifier ('.')
can be used consistently when accessing all such data.

In addition to the new interface several other changes
were made. In fact, there are so many I must apologize
in advance to Craig, et al. for the hatchet I wielded.
Among the changes was my attempt to shrink the body of
that main() function. It's amazing how some folks must
always cram as code much as possible into ol' main().
Personally, unless it's a throwaway quick & dirty pgm,
all main function bodies should not exceed one screen.

This was Craig's original patch, referenced below, but
it was never pushed to newlib. It has now been rebased
on top of some diskstat stuff to serve as a beginning.
The original effort was perfectly serviceable (after a
memory leak was fixed) but the approach would not have
served future PID needs when that proc_t went bye bye.
The slabtop requirements are similar to those of PIDs.
One must accommodate the variable number of slab nodes
(PIDs) while also accepting different data (char * and
unsigned long). Furthermore, some generalized means to
sort all that acquired stuff must somehow be provided.
So I wanted to try a different approach that seemed to
hold potential for satisfying future top and ps needs.
Subsequent commits will make that attempt, building on
Craig's original patch whose commit msg appears below.
------------------------------------------------------
All of the /proc/slabinfo related calls have been changed
here. They follow the same procps_slabinfo_* format.
Made both the slabtop and vmstat programs use the new
API as one was using the old one and one was just sort
of trying to do its own thing.
Sorting of slabnodes is also possible via the library.

When the command is executed in one shot mode (-o) with stdin
being something other than a terminal, the tcgetattr() call
would fail, and generate an error message. e.g.:
slabtop: terminal setting retrieval: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Active / Total Objects (% used) : 905319 / 915886 (98.8%)

Minor fixes that the translator (Yuri) has found in some of the
strings. You only know how many typos and thinkos you have when
someone is trying to translate it.

To assist translators, the help lines are split so that each translation
chunk has one option. This gives bonus of if we add or change an option,
only that option remains untranslated rather than the entire help block.

An earlier commit attempted to cleanse our environment
of all useless trailing whitespace. But the effort did
not catch 'empty' lines with a single space before ^J.
This commit hopefully finishes off the earlier effort.
In the meantime, let's pray that contributors' editors
are configured so that such wasted crap is disallowed!

For portabiliy, check for program_invocation_name during configure and
define HAVE_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME accordingly. Use of this symbol is
now enclosed with the appropriate #ifdef block.
The symbol program_invocation_name is only used for error message
handling using error(), so it's safe to omit this if it is not
available.
If stream status is not checked at the end of execution below problem
would not report error, or non-zero exit code. The uptime is just an
example same was true with all commands of the project.
$ uptime >&- ; echo $?
uptime: write error: Bad file descriptor
1
$ uptime >/dev/full ; echo $?
uptime: write error: No space left on device

err and warn are BSD format but they are not recommended by library
developers. However their consiseness is useful!
The solution is to use some macros that create xerr etc which then
just map to the error() function. The next problem is error() uses
program_invocation_name so we set this to program_invovation_short_name
This is a global set but seems to be the convention (or at least errors
are on the short name only) used everywhere else.
This commit fixes also peculiar behavior of
$ slabtop -d 0
which did not make sense. The fix is to disallow anything else but
positive integers, which includes zero as is is not positive (or
negative) number.
