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.
