Jim Warner 09e1886c9e library: expand fields yet maintain ABI, <MEMINFO> api
With the 4.8 kernel, 2 new fields will be added to the
meminfo pseudo file. This commit, soon to be replaced,
is intended as an example of how such changes might be
incorporated plus still maintain binary compatibility.

This actually goes further than is strictly necessary,
by retaining meminfo_item ordering for 'set' functions
and the creation of hash table entries. However, there
is only 1 true requirement, that of Item_table entries
which must always agree exactly with item enumerators.
All of the other changes could be done alphabetically.

Ok, so what happens when an old program encounters the
new expanded meminfo items? Well, if it was thoroughly
tested against an old library, it won't even see those
new fields. On the other hand, if it somehow exceeds a
previous MEMINFO_logical_end, then it will just get an
extra result structure or two, with no real harm done.

[ this patch is being replace by the very next patch ]
[ so that our iniitial newlib release can maintain a ]
[ strict alphabetic ordering in all areas initially! ]
