Nathan Scott f0ed0fdafb Add a new DynamicMeter class for runtime Meter extension
This commit is based on exploratory work by Sohaib Mohamed.
The end goal is two-fold - to support addition of Meters we
build via configuration files for both the PCP platform and
for scripts ( https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/issues/526 )

Here, we focus on generic code and the PCP support.  A new
class DynamicMeter is introduced - it uses the special case
'param' field handling that previously was used only by the
CPUMeter, such that every runtime-configured Meter is given
a unique identifier.  Unlike with the CPUMeter this is used
internally only.  When reading/writing to htoprc instead of
CPU(N) - where N is an integer param (CPU number) - we use
the string name for each meter.  For example, if we have a
configuration for a DynamicMeter for some Redis metrics, we
might read and write "Dynamic(redis)".  This identifier is
subsequently matched (back) up to the configuration file so
we're able to re-create arbitrary user configurations.

The PCP platform configuration file format is fairly simple.
We expand configs from several directories, including the
users homedir alongside htoprc (below htop/meters/) and also
/etc/pcp/htop/meters.  The format will be described via a
new pcp-htop(5) man page, but its basically ini-style and
each Meter has one or more metric expressions associated, as
well as specifications for labels, color and so on via a dot
separated notation for individual metrics within the Meter.

A few initial sample configuration files are provided below
./pcp/meters that give the general idea.  The PCP "derived"
metric specification - see pmRegisterDerived(3) - is used
as the syntax for specifying metrics in PCP DynamicMeters.

Nathan Scott 4bcb5d116b Update the PCP platform to use common Process fields and code
Remove code now that we have common platform-independent command
line wrangling (thanks BenBE!).  Add PCP platform support for a
handful of other recently arriving odds and ends - ELAPSED time,
CWD, and so on.

Nathan Scott c14a45ba35 Add a platform for Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) metrics
This introduces an initial platform for extracting metrics
using the PCP performance metrics API - PMAPI(3).  It can
be used via the --enable-pcp=yes configure option.

So far I've added support for live localhost metrics only,
and only using pre-defined metrics already found in htop.
If available, all sampling is performed by pmcd(1) - else,
we fallback to htop doing the metric sampling itself (all
below the PMAPI).  When pmcd is used, it may be configured
to run children with elevated privileges, so htop does not
need to be setuid (authentication with pmcd is available).

Additionally, the PMAPI allows us to support archives (for
historical analysis and for automated regression tests in
htop).  We'll need platform-specific command line argument
additions, which isn't yet feasible in htop (not difficult
to add though).

The goal of this first version is minimal impact in terms
of modifying the htop codebase, to introduce key ideas in
PCP (metric namespace, metadata, APIs and so on) and give
us something to discuss, experiment with and build on.
