Several improvements to the way values are displayed in the
PCP platform DynamicMeter implementation:
- handle the initial 'caption' setting as with regular meters,
this required a new meter callback because we no longer have
just a single meter caption for the DynamicMeter case
- if no label is provided for a metric in a configuration file
use the short form metric name as a fallback
- honour the suffix setting in the configuration file
- convert metric values to the canonical units for htop (kbyte
and seconds), and use Meter_humanUnit when it makes sense to
do so.
Also improves the handling of fatal string error messages in a
couple of places, thanks to BenBE for the review feedback.
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.
Refactor the sample time code to make one call to gettimeofday
(aka the realtime clock in clock_gettime, when available) and
one to the monotonic clock. Stores each in more appropriately
named ProcessList fields for ready access when needed. Every
platform gets the opportunity to provide their own clock code,
and the existing Mac OS X specific code is moved below darwin
instead of in Compat.
A couple of leftover time(2) calls are converted to use these
ProcessList fields as well, instead of yet again sampling the
system clock.

The end goal is to consolidate all the points in htop that can only work in
live-only mode today, so that will be able to inject PCP archive mode and have
a chance at it working.
The biggest problem we've got at this moment is all the places that are
independently asking the kernel to 'give me the time right now'.
Each of those needs to be audited and ultimately changed to allow platforms to
manage their own idea of time.
So, all the calls to gettimeofday(2) and time(2) are potential problems.
Ultimately I want to get these down to just one or two.

The local stack buffer does not need to be cleaned to zeros when
- just initialized, cause the length is set to 0 and the first
character is set to '\0', so all printing functions will safely stop
- no further used, i.e. the variable goes out of scope
Print wide characters, like degree sign, properly via mvadd_wch().
Ignore attributes when returning value from RichString_getCharVal() in
non-wide ncurses mode to test against raw characters.
Change the color and total based on the actual 1min load value:
< 1 : green and total of 1.0
< cpu-count : yellow and total of cpu-count
else : red and total of 2*cpu-count

RichString_writeFrom takes a top spot during performance analysis due to the
calls to mbstowcs() and iswprint().
Most of the time we know in advance that we are only going to print regular
ASCII characters.
Currently the code does not handle multi-byte characters, so length-
computations take the raw count of C characters and not the to displayed
size into account.
An example is the degree sign for temperatures.
Closes: #329
Allocating zero size memory results in implementation-defined behavior:
man:malloc(3) :
If size is 0, then malloc() returns either NULL, or a unique pointer
value that can later be successfully passed to free().
