Reasoning:
- implementation was unsound -- broke down when I added a fairly
basic macro definition expanding to a struct initializer in a *.c
file.
- made it way too easy (e.g. via otherwise totally innocuous git
commands) to end up with timestamps such that it always ran
MakeHeader.py but never used its output, leading to overbuild noise
when running what should be a null 'make'.
- but mostly: it's just an awkward way of dealing with C code.
Promote the Arg union to a core data type in Object.c such
that it is visible everywhere (many source files need it),
and correct declarations of several functions that use it.
The Process_sendSignal function is also corrected to have
the expected return type (bool, not void) - an error being
masked by ignoring this not-quite-harmless warning. I've
also added error checking to the kill(2) call here, which
was previously overlooked / missing (?).
Extends the MakeHeader script to auto-generate correct "extern"
function declarations in some cases that it currently does not.

this way a remount of /proc will not reset starttimes
and we can also see startup times for processes started before the mount
of /proc
also record btime (boot time in seconds since epoch) as Linux semi-global
Adds support for showing columns with linux delay accounting.
This information can be read from the netlink interface, and thus we set up a socket to read from that when initializing the LinuxProcessList (LinuxProcessList_initNetlinkSocket). After that, for each process we call LinuxProcessList_readDelayAcctData, which sends a message thru the socket after setting up a callback to get the answer from the Kernel. That callback sets the process total delay time attribute. We then set the delay percent as the percentage of time process cpu time since last scan.
