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.

* Set process data for:
- minflt
- majflt
- processor
- nlwp
* Drop unimplemented nlwp column
* Scan userland threads
* Mark a 'Thread is currently on a CPU.' with 'R', and processes
'Currently runnable' with 'P', do confine with man:ps(1) and Linux.
See https://man.openbsd.org/ps.1
* Show CPU frequency
Use similar calculation than procps.
Show AvailableMemory in text mode.
Use total minus available memory instead of manually computed used-
memory as fraction part in bar mode (if 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)."
The global ProcessList structure contains a couple of unused
fields. 'sharedMem' has never been used by any Meter, since
its not been anything other than zero in Linux /proc/meminfo
for many, many years. The freeMem field is only used in the
usedMem calculation, so it can reside on the stack like some
other memory variables used within-calculations-only and not
exposed to the user via a Meter.
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.

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.
