eba58ec17a library: beef up 'enum pids_item' parameter validation
I was surprised to find that ol' gcc silently converts
a single (different) enum into an address where one or
more enums were expected to be dereferenced. Of course
this was just yet another way to generate an old SEGV.

So this commit will strengthen those parameter checks.

A patch containing the following miscellaneous tweaks:

. avoided distortions unique to PROCPS_PIDS_TICS_DELTA

d0b28bcefd pidof: modify to utilize the new procps_pids interface
As an additional test of the viability of the new pids
API, the pidof program has now been converted. As part
of that effort, several library changes were prompted:

. individual reads were added as an alternative to the
all encompassing (maybe over broad?) 'reap' provision.

. an alternate version of cgroup, cmdline plus environ
has been added to represent actual vectorized strings.

f69c421295 library: add real string vectors to the pids interface
After experimenting with an adaptation of pidof to the
new pids interface, it became apparent that vectorized
versions of those command lines would be necessary. So
this commit adds that option and the strv result type.

And since the stage had been set, a vectorized version
of PROCPS_PIDS_ENVIRON & PROCPS_PIDS_CGROUP was added.

Lastly, any use of 'const' in the result structure was
removed so callers need not be bothered with casts and
compiler warnings. Hopefully, they'll respect a stack.

e949b78c30 library: revert changes to 'look_up_our_self' function
The patch below is where most proc_t fixed size arrays
became simple pointers to char. In that commit changes
to the above function were made so that dynamic memory
was freed which included the program name (cmd) field.

That change was prompted by a valgrind reported memory
leak during development that no longer seems to exist.
However, by keeping the look_up_our_self() changes the
ps command without args then fails to report anything.

So this patch just restores the expected old behavior.

387d4030f4 library: miscellaneous tweaks to pid code and comments
. traded a complex misaligned memory allocation scheme
in the make_hist function for a simple aligned scheme.
plus memory allocation increases are globally defined.

. changed 1 parameter for procps_pids_stacks_sort() to
better reflect the 'array of pointers', not an address
of a pointer as is used with guys such as 'new/unref'.

. the pids_reap struct was changed slightly to make it
more reflective of it's actual implementation details.

. the Item_table member .mustfree is now .needfree and
that .makehist was now made .needhist for consistency.

. reduced the number of separate 'return NULL;' source
statements in that primary procps_pids_reap() routine.

. ensured consistent reference to sizeof(void *) & not
occasional reference to sizeof(void*) without a space.

. rather than enable/disable validate_stacks via a #if
in the function body, it is now handled via a #define.

. some comments in the procps_pids_reset function were
adjusted to reflect this current implementation. shown
originally, they reflected an aborted attempt to avoid
a testing aberration not fully understood at the time.

. added a summary of the memory overhead cost of HST_t
processing to that UNREF_RPTHASH output at unref time.

. a 'PIDs at max depth:' portion of that UNREF_RPTHASH
enabled #define is now published only when the maximum
depth of hash table entry chains exceed depths of one.

7e6a371d8a library: implement task/thread support via the new api
This commit is the culmination of efforts to modernize
the library api. It should be treated as a first blush
attempt, especially since I have absolutely no library
design experience. But I did have a very strong desire
to lessen the new library's impact on the top program.

Under this new api, a 'stack' is the equivalent of the
old proc_t. It can be seen as a variable length record
whose contents & order is under complete user control.

That initial stack/record configuration is established
at procps_pids_new() time and will probably serve most
program needs. But, a dynamic & demanding program like
top will later change a stack via procps_pids_reset().

For programs like top & ps, procps_pids_reap() will be
the function that will retrieve all tasks and threads.

Any program that needs to filter / select only certain
processes or users have available other functions that
can be used: procps_pids_stacks_alloc, fill & dealloc.

This implementation attempts to maximize that existing
proven libprocps code base. As we gain more experience
such actual code can be migrated into the pids.c file.

3881a0844a old library: just some tweaks for transition to newlib
A few minor changes are being made to position the old
readproc logic for a transition to the newlib pid api.

These changes will not impact current users beyond the
the need to recompile such code. Hopefully this should
be very last version change to the deprecated library.

. most char arrays were replaced via char * to dynamic
memory. this was done so that newlib could just assume
ownership of such strings without using a strdup call.

. former user and group name arrays also became char *
but here the reason was because pwcache already cached
those names. so, copying to an array never made sense.

. the concept of QUICK_THREADS used to avoid duplicate
overhead for string data was disabled. it could not be
integrated with the newlib design, at least initially.

. any #define which influenced the size of that proc_t
was disable in the header. it was probably a poor idea
to approach optional features in such a manner anyway.

b7fe46a815 top: avoid an unnecessary conversion for 'USED' column
When the USED column was introduced the proc_t.vm_swap
& proc_t.resident values were added together. However,
using 'resident' required an additional PROC_FILL flag
not to mention extra conversion of pages to kibibytes.

So now we'll use an already present vm_rss value which
removes any special handling for top's derived column.

And while we're at it we'll trade some more 'resident'
field uses with that more immediately usable 'vm_rss'.

The simple answer is to set errno to 0 before calling strtof().

aa7ff688db top: improve vertical scroll management for 'i' toggle
When a user is taking advantage of the scroll features
it is likely a scrolled vertical position is well past
the first displayable task. That is especially true of
top's forest view ('V') mode where those early systemd
attached processes are generally not very interesting.

As such, should the idle mode toggle ('i') be employed
a distorted display is almost guaranteed because tasks
that have used some cpu, and thus should be displayed,
have already been skipped by virtue of their position.

So this patch temporarily nullifies vertical scrolling
during the period when idle tasks are not being shown.
