Add a new DynamicMeter class for runtime Meter extension This commit is based on exploratory work by Sohaib Mohamed. The end goal is two-fold - to support addition of Meters we build via configuration files for both the PCP platform and for scripts ( https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/issues/526 ) Here, we focus on generic code and the PCP support. A new class DynamicMeter is introduced - it uses the special case 'param' field handling that previously was used only by the CPUMeter, such that every runtime-configured Meter is given a unique identifier. Unlike with the CPUMeter this is used internally only. When reading/writing to htoprc instead of CPU(N) - where N is an integer param (CPU number) - we use the string name for each meter. For example, if we have a configuration for a DynamicMeter for some Redis metrics, we might read and write "Dynamic(redis)". This identifier is subsequently matched (back) up to the configuration file so we're able to re-create arbitrary user configurations. The PCP platform configuration file format is fairly simple. We expand configs from several directories, including the users homedir alongside htoprc (below htop/meters/) and also /etc/pcp/htop/meters. The format will be described via a new pcp-htop(5) man page, but its basically ini-style and each Meter has one or more metric expressions associated, as well as specifications for labels, color and so on via a dot separated notation for individual metrics within the Meter. A few initial sample configuration files are provided below ./pcp/meters that give the general idea. The PCP "derived" metric specification - see pmRegisterDerived(3) - is used as the syntax for specifying metrics in PCP DynamicMeters.

Ensure PCP dynamic metric configuration definition uniqueness It can happen that pcp-htop is presented multiple definitions of the same dynamic meter, e.g. if /etc/pcp/htop/meters has a definition matching one in ~/.config/htop/meters - instead of exiting with a duplicate metric error provide more meaningful diagnostics (on close) and also just skip over such entries. System files override home directories which overrides those found below the current working directory. Also fix the derived metric error diagnostic; because this is using CRT_fatalError, which is like perror(3), we must give a meaningful prefix (like program name) at the string end.
