Some kdeinit tasks have a large environment consisting
mostly of nulls which were then followed by one or two
printable characters. Such strange environments should
not be shown with that 'not applicable' (n/a) notation
even though that first string vector is equal to '\0'.
I thought I had covered such a contingency but, due to
a misplaced right parenthesis, that '^N' bottom window
could see 'n/a' + a bunch of spaces + printable stuff.
Well, that won't happen anymore with this tiny change.

This program was well equipped to properly handle utf8
multi-byte characters - except for one important area!
If users typed any unicode character (shift+ctrl+u) or
pasted a utf-8 multi-byte string as a response to some
input prompt, those characters would simply be ignored
since they would not pass the internal 'isprint' test.
Well, now we can handle such data while preserving all
line editing provisions such as insertions, deletions,
destructive backspace, prior line recall (up/down) and
those all important cursor left plus right arrow keys.

In the commit shown below the bottom window was forced
off if a full screen replacement function was invoked.
It did so by setting Frames_signal after calling those
routines from the keys_global function. However, there
was sometimes a possibility such action was premature.
At least two of those full screen replacement routines
may issue an error message & return without corrupting
the screen. As such, forcing off that bottom window is
totally unnecessary. It therefore should be preserved.
So this commit just moves the setting of Frames_signal
to the full screen replacement routines when possible.

A library should generally return an error value, rather than
printing to stderr a message. procps_loadavg() had a few things
to change:
It had a global buffer, but we don't call this function over and
over except in tload. It also did had two macros where a plain
fopen() would do the job nicely.
This removed the macro FILE_TO_BUF which was used everywhere in oldlib
but only for loadavg in newlib.
This library change will set us up to fix tload.
When /proc is mounted with subset=pid free just gives the
standard cannot create meminfo structure without any hint why.
free now checks the return value and if it is -ENOENT then it
gives more information about the problem.

If the special bottom 'window' routines remain unaware
of potential multi-byte characters, that heading could
be truncated prematurely and unnecessary blank line(s)
added to the reserved rows at the bottom of a display.
So, in both cases, this patch will now account for any
difference between string lengths and display columns.

This patch attempts to reduce the proliferation of the

pkg-config is used to find various libraries used by procps.
Unfortunately it, or rather automake, give terrible misleading
error messages if pkg-config is not installed.
At ./configure time you get this:
configure: error: ncurses support missing/incomplete (for partial
build use --without-ncurses)
At automake time you get this:
configure.ac:33: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:48: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_IF
configure.ac:113: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
The internet is filled with such wonderful other examples.
This commit does two things:
At autoconf time, check PKG_PREREQ macro is defined which is found in
pkg.m4 and tells us pkg-config has its macros available.
At configure time, check the result of the pkg-config test and error
if it didn't find it.
Now it actually says its missing pkg-config. To be fair, the autoconf
check is "documented" and recommended in pkg.m4 file.

The existing build system would only require wide ncurses for
a wide watch and even if the library was there would not link
anything else to it.
The first issue which #123 made me think of, is if ncursesw
was there and ncurses is not, why not use ncursesw?
A more major issue is if programs such as slabtop are linked
to ncurses, then certain languages will display their text
wrong, as found in #237.
The days of assuming ASCII only is ok are over the build system
now does the following:
1. If ncursesw is available use this for all relevant programs
2. If ncursesw is not but ncurses is, use this instead
3. If you enable 8bit watch and either disable ncurses or
we cannot find ncursesw error at configure time.
In related news, I hate M4sh.

Since top now uses string vectors for two items in the
new focus window (cmdline & environ), there is no real
use for that 'separator' specified at toggle time. So,
this commit will find a new use for what is the space.
Henceforth, when a user is navigating using the tab or
backtab keys, should a strv element with focus contain
embedded space(s), it will be emphasized & highlighted
using the current window's message color (capclr_msg).

This commit adds a new option called `--equexit` which is the opposite
of `--chgexit`. This option makes it possible to exit when the output
of the given command does not change for the given number of cycles.
A download operation could be given as a use-case since `watch` will
exit when the output does not change anymore, in other words, when
the download is completed.

Some of those bottom windows grow quite large, as with
the firefox environment. If one is navigating the data
using the tab key, it can be very inconvenient when an
element should be reexamined but that focus has moved.
Therefore, this commit will support the 'back_tab' key
which is a standard combination of the shift+tab keys.
Now a user can easily backup up to any missed element,
assuming a terminal emulator honors that terminfo key.
