Jim Warner 92d0297e1e library: introduced 'Item_table' validation provisions 
The recent work on updating the <meminfo> and <vmstat>
modules with some newly added linux fields reminded me
(again) of a need for some mechanism guaranteeing that
a header file agrees with the source file assumptions.

Sadly, in the past, if a table entry was omitted or if
the table and header are ordered differently, then the
library would silently return the wrong results values
or even potentially experience a SIGSEGV abnormal end.

This patch offers a much needed development assist for
ensuring that Item_table entries are synchronized with
header file enumerators in terms of number plus order.

It's intended solely for our use as libprocps evolves.

Now, by activating ITEMTABLE_DEBUG, either directly or
via ./configure CFLAGS='-DITEMTABLE_DEBUG', the number
and order will be verified. It is envisioned that this
feature will be used at least once prior to a release.
