Using the same function for the same library causes AC_CHECK_LIB to use
cached results.
Since we change the detection method via different or no
ncurses(5|6)-config invocation, avoid such caching by using different
functions.
- require autoconf version 2.69
was released in 2012 and one still can configure and build on older
systems (just not generate the configure script)
- use modern C99 compiler check
- drop obsolete checks: AC_C_CONST, AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID, AC_FUNC_STAT
- drop AC_HEADER_STDBOOL in favor of C99 compatibility
On some AMD and Intel CPUs read()ing scaling_cur_freq is quite slow
(> 1ms). This delay accumulates for every core.
If the read on CPU 0 takes longer than 500us bail out and fall back to
reading the frequencies from /proc/cpuinfo.
Once the condition has been met, bail out early for the next couple of
scans.
Closes: #471
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.
strcasestr(3) is a GNU extension and when compiling freebsd/Platform.c
on kfreebsd for Debian <string.h> is included before we define
_GNU_SOURCE, so the function is not available.

According to the Linux kernel documentation, "SwapCached" tracks "memory
that once was swapped out, is swapped back in but still also is
in the swapfile (if memory is needed it doesn't need to be swapped out
AGAIN because it is already in the swapfile. This saves I/O)."
It is only used on Linux to optimize memory handling in case the command
changes to a smaller-or-equal string.
This "optimization" however causes more code bloat and maintenance cost
on string handling issues than it gains.
