That issue cited below prompted some changes under the
newlib branch to standardize the calculation involving
busy, idle, user & system accumulated plus delta tics.
This patch will bring our master branch version of top
into agreement with that newlib version which exploits
some of those newly added library extended provisions.

It makes no sense to begin our tracked nested level at
'1' then later require a '1' to be subtracted from the
level as artwork and indentation is added for display.
By beginning such tracked levels at zero, we can avoid
the need to adjust it & use it directly in a snprintf.

In some environments, 100 * nr_active_objs is calculated at first,
and the result of lower 32bits is divided by nr_objs. This occurs
even in a 64-bit architecture. So nr_active_objes > 42949672, %use
will be incorrect.
This fix casts type of nr_active_objs to float to calculate
correctly the %use in 32-bit/64-bit architectures.

This reverts commit 99d71ad581.
When nr_active_objs / nr_objs is calculated, the result will be 1
or 0 since the variables are integer. So the commit is wrong.
This patch just parallels some adjustments/corrections
which were also implemented under the 'newlib' branch.

Still unhappy with a minor memory leak associated with
libnuma, I experimented with omitting the dlclose that
was issued at module's end. For some reason which will
remain a mystery, the valgrind leak then went bye-bye.
So this patch just omits one use of dlclose and relies
on whatever kernel magic is at work to free the memory
when each process ends. We kept, however, the original
code (now commented-out) to serve as a future caution.
There remains one potential (but unlikely) dlclose use
near the original dlopen. But there will be no leak as
that 'numa_node_of_cpu' will not yet have been called.
This seems to be the culprit that triggers such leaks.
None of this libnuma shit would likely have come close
to hitting our fan had the numa developers provided us
with 'new' and 'unref' functions like our newlib does.

Ever since its introduction, the 'x' (extended format)
option has employed strncmp to parse those smaps keys.
Such an approach worked well as long as those prefixes
were guaranteed to be unique. But, with the 4.3 kernel
a new 'SwapPss' field was added to those within smaps.
That triggered a 2nd match for the 'Swap' logic which,
in turn, resulted in a duplicate output line of zeros.
So this patch just trades strncmp for strcmp, avoiding
potential future problems when /proc/$$/smaps evolves.

After discovering those terrible costs associated with
/proc/status vs. /proc/stat, the build_header function
changed to favor the latter for a field found in both.
Well, low-and-behold, this top program still used some
flags that needlessly caused 'status' to still be read
when 'statm' could have served. And, while top's needs
require conversion from pages to KiB, that's still far
less costly than reading that gosh darn 'status' file.

Long ago, in a galaxy far away, top was convinced that
/proc/stat was to be favored over /proc/status if some
field could be satisfied with either. This was done to
avoid extra costs of 64-bit math for 32-bit platforms.
Well, its time to acknowledge the prevalence of 64-bit
platforms. And in such an environment there is a large
hidden cost currently if using status instead of stat.
In fact, that cost difference can be as high as 1400%.
So, this commit will coax top into favoring that least
costly route while also fixing an EU_TGD library flag.

Profiling revealed a large amount of time spent in the
'escape_str_utf8' function (escape.c) with both of our
NLS branches (newlib and master). That same result was
not seen under an ancient top-3.2.8 program & library.
Well, the 3.2.8 result was ultimately explained by the
absence of a 'setlocale', necessary under NLS support.
Thus, when that ancient library tested for locale, all
it got was 'ANSI_...' & assumed 'UTF-8' wasn't active.
But after a hack to that ancient code to place it on a
par with newlib/master, I still found cost differences
that led me to revisit an old change referenced below.
It turns out that 'iswprint' costs far more than would
a call of 'isprint', even with the extra support code.
So this commit just reverts that five year old change.

This commit provides for raising the total displayable
fields from its current 70 to 86. It also bumps the id
in an rcfile representing the version from 'i' to 'j'.
The increase in number of fields will make sharing the
rcfile with an older top, once it's saved, impossible.
These changes are being done via a #define rather than
hard coded so any such sharing will still be possible.

For a specific slice of kernel versions we can get a better
estimate of the available memory before the "real" available
figure appears around kernel 3.2
However, that middle method requires a /proc/sys/vm directory.
FreeBSD 9.x used to emulate a < 2.6.27 kernel procfs meaning
it never tried the middle method. FreeBSD 10.x emulates something
more modern, but without the available figure and without a
/proc/sys/vm, so the library falls into a hole.
Hurd may to one day have this bug so we'll exclude him as well
as its triggered by whatever number appears in
/proc/sys/kernel/osrelease

Whoa, I had never considered an alternative to ncurses
until the issue referenced below was raised. Thus, I'm
surprised to find that 'tparm' was the only impediment
to ultimately utilizing this alternate curses library.
And, while we could have substituted that non-standard
'tiparm' with only 2 arguments, we'll utilize the full
parms compliment in the spirit of that original patch.
Frankly, the task of developing an alternative library
to that ncurses implementation really boggles my mind.
Congratulations to rofl0r, whoever that masked man is.

Those infernal arches of kfreebsd-i386 (not -amd64) don't define
HOST_NAME_MAX. This patch is a work-around for those systems with
lacking include files.
Because I don't know how to redirect properly in tcl, there are
some small scripts that do this for me. With your standard
make check, all is good because the scripts and the binary are
in the usual spots.
make distcheck however puts them all over the place. The binary is
in a different tree to the test and aux scripts. The change now
tells where aux script where its binary is.
