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.
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.

By default, OpenBSD disables SMT (hyperthreading) cpu pseudo-cores.
This can be changed at runtime by setting the hw.smt sysctl so they
may become active later, therefore they are still present in cpu
stat structures but are marked as offline.
As done with native top(1), this drops them from the cpu summary
graphs.
* 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.
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 libcap code is Linux-specific so move it all below
the linux/ platform subdirectory. As this feature has
custom command-line long options I provide a mechanism
whereby each platform can add custom long options that
augment the main htop options. We'll make use this of
this with the pcp/ platform in due course to implement
the --host and --archive options there.

* 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
Code that is shared across some (but not all) platforms
is moved into a 'generic' home. Makefile.am cleanups to
match plus some minor alphabetic reordering/formatting.
As discussed in https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/pull/553
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.
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)."
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.
RichString_writeFrom takes a top spot during performance analysis due to the
calls to mbstowcs() and iswprint().
Most of the time we know in advance that we are only going to print regular
ASCII characters.
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.
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.
