This patch attempts to standardize the naming of those
most important (declared not defined) context structs.
The present practice represents a hodge podge of names
only some of which reflect the source /proc file name.
And 2 of those file names embed a literal 'info' which
is likely the origin of that required parm identifier.
Now we'll append a universal '_info' to such structure
names, while including the names of those /proc pseudo
files where possible. In any case, that context struct
will *always* begin with the actual module/header file
name. And only the following two sound a little weird!
---------> 'meminfo_info' + 'slabinfo_info' <---------

This patch is a response to changes to the <diskstats>
interface. And the following represents the summary of
significant unrelated alterations that were also made.
+ corrected that 'milli weighted IO' output, which has
been wrong since that original patch referenced below.
as implemented, it duplicated 'milli spent IO' output.
+ restored original commit intent regarding disks with
a partition switch as represented in references below.
+ moved all item enumerators up near the source start.
+ removed all remaining tabs and inconsistent indents.
+ reformatted the silly style applied to 'xerrx' uses.

This patch will bring this interface up to our 3rd gen
standards. The following summarizes the major changes.
* New delta provisions have been added to most fields.
There are, of course, some fields for which a delta is
inappropriate. They include the identifying items such
as name, type, major and minor. Plus the io_inprogress
field which already acts, in effect, as a delta value.
* To provide delta support, dev_node historical values
have become persistent. By the same token, the library
must provide for future removal of disks/partitions. A
timestamp is used to detect 'stale' data which will be
deleted so as not to satisfy some get, select or reap.
* Such persistent support is provided by a linked list
which, by default, grows from the bottom down so as to
maintain compatibility with the /proc/diskstats order.
Initially, I was tempted to use the GNU tsearch (tree)
provisions until I discovered the overhead of building
that tree plus costs of a subsequent 'twalk'. Besides,
walking such a tree means retrieval order would differ
from an order required/expected by the vmstat program.
* The '/sys/block' directory is no longer scanned with
every refresh cycle. Rather, it's only accessed when a
node is first encountered. Then, that node's 'type' is
persistent for its lifetime like several other fields.
* A sort provision was included, at virtually no cost,
even though such a provision was not currently needed.

Where possible, libprocps files convey the name of the
actual source pseudo file under the '/proc' directory.
This brings diskstats into line with such an approach.

Whoa, I had never considered an alternative to ncurses
until the issue referenced below was raised. Thus, I'm
surprised to find that 'tparm' was the only impediment
to ultimately utilizing this alternate curses library.
And, while we could have substituted that non-standard
'tiparm' with only 2 arguments, we'll utilize the full
parms compliment in the spirit of that original patch.
Frankly, the task of developing an alternative library
to that ncurses implementation really boggles my mind.
Congratulations to rofl0r, whoever that masked man is.

For a specific slice of kernel versions we can get a better
estimate of the available memory before the "real" available
figure appears around kernel 3.2
However, that middle method requires a /proc/sys/vm directory.
FreeBSD 9.x used to emulate a < 2.6.27 kernel procfs meaning
it never tried the middle method. FreeBSD 10.x emulates something
more modern, but without the available figure and without a
/proc/sys/vm, so the library falls into a hole.
Hurd may to one day have this bug so we'll exclude him as well
as its triggered by whatever number appears in
/proc/sys/kernel/osrelease

So as to avoid that potential (and inappropriate) numa
library spew to stderr, plus some resulting corruption
of top's display, top buffered stderr output until the
program ended. However, under our new library, timings
have changed meaning the corruption could occur again.
So this patch just relocates the stderr redirect to an
earlier startup point ahead of the 1st call to <STAT>.

That #define QUICK_THREADS was impossible to implement
under the new <pids> interface. Plus it was also found
to distort some thread information (referenced below).
So, it's always been inactive under the newlib branch.
However, it will (with small changes) still serve some
useful purpose in our library. Now, when the redefined
FALSE_THREADS is active, those special strings showing
"[ duplicate ENUM ]" will appear for any child thread.
Note: the real reason for such strings appearing isn't
being exercised, only their mechanics. In actual usage
they are substituted when a user duplicates such items
in a results stack & only the 1st instance can own it.
With this patch, we are simply fooling the <pids> code
into thinking an item was duplicated via a NULL value.

Those infernal arches of kfreebsd-i386 (not -amd64) don't define
HOST_NAME_MAX. This patch is a work-around for those systems with
lacking include files.
Because I don't know how to redirect properly in tcl, there are
some small scripts that do this for me. With your standard
make check, all is good because the scripts and the binary are
in the usual spots.
make distcheck however puts them all over the place. The binary is
in a different tree to the test and aux scripts. The change now
tells where aux script where its binary is.
If process_ansi encountered an unknown character when processing an ANSI
escape sequence, it would ungetc all the characters read so far, except
for the character just read, and the opening '\033['. ungetting the
middle of the escape sequence does not produce useful results, and also
relies on the unportable assumption that ungetc works on multiple
characters (which glibc does not support). Discard the characters
instead.

process_ansi assumed all numbers in a color control sequence correspond
to colors or attributes, which breaks badly if it encounters a
ISO-8613-3 escape sequence (such as for truecolor RGB). For instance,
the sequence "\x1b[38;2;10;20;30m" sets the foreground color to
rgb(10,20,30), but watch will interpret all five numbers in the sequence
as colors or attributes themselves.
Stop processing the entire escape sequence if watch encounters any
number it doesn't understand, as that number may change the meaning of
the rest of the sequence.
Previously there was a commit to change all noinst_PROGRAMS into
check_PROGRAMS. This was not a good idea.
check_PROGRAMS are built before TESTS are run. However they are
NOT build before the dejagnu tests are run, causing those tests
to fail.
So:
If the program is required for dejagnu, it needs to go into
noinst_PROGRAMS
If the program is required for TESTS or is one of those TESTS,
it needs to go into check_PROGRAMS
For some unknown reason, check_PROGRAMS are not built before check.
They are built before recheck and after check, which isn't very
useful.
This means any tests by dejagnu that need those programs will fail.
On my console I get a build error, the CI merrily reports the error
but considers the build OK; go figure.
The kludge adds check_PROGRAMS to be a dependency to check.
Note, TESTS don't need to be included in this, because they are
properly compliled after the dejagnu tests but before they are
run.
As part of the fix to truncate the command in non-8bit, watch had
the function for output_header changed (much for scope cleanliness
and cohesiveness than anything; so I'm going to blame Meyer)...
Anyhow the 8bit enabled version did not have that update which
meant watch failed to compile. Thanks to @asavah for issue #37
and the patch.

Ever since their introduction, plus continuing through
several evolutions, both the meminfo and vmstat 'read'
functions employed a 'do while' loop for /proc access.
However, that loop construct was wrong since identical
tests were already done (twice!) within each loop body
itself, then accompanied by its own 'break' statement.
So, we will now transform them both into forever loops
which will help us to emphasize such break statements.
[ plus, let's return an error should nothing be read ]
[ lastly, eliminate 1 erroneous PROCPS_EXPORT prefix ]
