Fetching the TTY name of a process is extremely expensive on darwin and
the call to devname accounts for 95% of htop's CPU usage when there is
high process turnover (this is mostly due to devname calling lstat,
which is incredibly slow). This can make htop unresponsive.
To mitigate this only set the process TTY name if the it is being
actively displayed (PROCESS_FLAG_TTY), which by default it is not
on darwin.
While most Unix-like systems use 16-bit user IDs,
Linux supports 32-bit UIDs since version 2.6.
UIDs above 65535 are used for UID namespacing of containers,
where a container has its own set of 16-bit user IDs.
Processes in such containers will have (much) larger UIDs than 65535.
Because the current format strings for `ST_UID` and `USER`
are `%5d` and `%9d` respectively, processes with such UIDs
lead to misaligned columns.
Dynamically scale the `ST_UID` column and increase the size of `USER`
to 10 characters (length of UINT32_MAX) to ensure that the user ID always fits.
Additionally: clean up how the titlebuffer size calculation and ensure
the PID column has a minimum size of 5.
Add process columns showing the elapsed time since the process was
started.
Similar to STARTTIME, but shows the time passed since the process start
instead of the fixed start time of the process.

* Rename internal identifier from TTY_NR to just TTY
* Unify column header on platforms
* Use devname(3) on BSD derivate to show the actual terminal,
simplifies current FreeBSD implementation.
* Use 'unsigned long int' as id type, to fit dev_t on Linux.
Only on Solaris the terminal path is not yet resolved.
Division by 100000.0 worked because `sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK)` happened to be 100.
By unhardcoding:
1) It becomes more clear what this 100000.0 figure comes from.
2) It protects against bugs in the case `sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK)` ever changes.
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
This acheives two things:
- Allows for simple tie-breaking if values compare equal (needed to make sorting the tree-view stable)
- Allows for platform-dependent overriding of the sort-order for specific fields
Also fixes a small oversight on DragonFlyBSD when default-sorting.
* This removes duplicated code that adjusts the sort direction from every
OS-specific folder.
* Most fields in a regular htop screen are OS-independent, so trying
Process_compare first and only falling back to the OS-specific
compareByKey function if it's an OS-specific field makes sense.
* This will allow us to override the sortKey in a global way without having
to edit each OS-specific file.
By storing the per-process m_resident and m_virt values in the form
htop wants to display them in (KB, not pages), we no longer need to
have definitions of pageSize and pageSizeKB in the common CRT code.
These variables were never really CRT (i.e. display) related in the
first place. It turns out the darwin platform code doesn't need to
use these at all (the process values are extracted from the kernel
in bytes not pages) and the other platforms can each use their own
local pagesize variables, in more appropriate locations.
Some platforms were actually already doing this, so this change is
removing duplication of logic and variables there.
man:sysconf(3) states:
The values obtained from these functions are system configuration constants.
They do not change during the lifetime of a process.
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.
