Several of our newer meters have merged coding concerns in terms
of extracting values and displaying those values. This commit
rectifies that for the SysArch and Hostname meters, allowing use
of this code with alternative front/back ends. The SysArch code
is also refined to detect whether the platform has an os-release
file at all and/or the sys/utsname.h header via configure.ac.
On Linux kernels the size of the values exported for network
device bytes and packets has used a 64 bit integer for quite
some time (2.6+ IIRC). Make the procfs value extraction use
correct types and change internal types used to rate convert
these counters (within the NetworkIO Meter) 64 bit integers,
where appropriate.
At start, SysArchMeter calls the uname function to obtain the kernel
version and architecture. If available, the distro version is obtained
by calling lsb_release. The obtained values are stored in static
variables and used when updating the meter.
Use only one enum instead of a global and a platform specific one.
Drop Platform_numberOfFields global variable.
Set known size of Process_fields array
Move platform-specific code out of the htop.c main function
and into the platform sub-directories - primarily this is
the Linux procfs path check and sensors setup/teardown; not
needed on any other platforms. No functional changes here.
Generic data, as CPU and memory usage, are used by Meters.
In paused mode they would stop receiving updates and especially Graph
Meters would stop showing continuous data.

Add a date meter and sort header and source files in Makefile
Change the lists of header and source files sorted alphabetical and one
file per line. This way diffs become better readable and merges easier.
This is a straightforward extension of the existing multi-column CPU meter
code, which now allows for up CPU meters to be displayed in up to 16 columns.
This also adds the meter declarations to all the platform-specific code.
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.
