c7cf98b0e0 lib: add fileutils file with stream error checking facility
The close_stream() is copied from GNU lib. Inspiration to do this
is talk by Jim Meyering - Goodbye World! The perils of relying on
output streams in C.

cac93d35d0 build-sys: use dist-xz
Even as conservative project as coreutils has switched to xz distributions so
neither should we have any reason to use gz and waste space & bandwidth.

fb11e1fe0a Changed the err and warns to macros
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.

b260b11a3b lib: add strtol into utility library
The utility library is for functions which are shared in commands,
but that does not belong to libproc-ng.  The first function is a
wrapper for strtol that performs error checking, and exists if such
happen.
