Linux commit 06eb61844d841d0032a9950ce7f8e783ee49c0d0 ("sched/debug:
Add explicit TASK_IDLE printing") exposes kthreads idling using
TASK_IDLE in procfs as "I (idle)".

Until now, when sorting the STATE ("S") column, htop used the raw
value of the state character for comparison, however that led to the
undesirable effect of TASK_IDLE ('I') tasks being sorted above tasks
that were running ('R').

Thus, explicitly recognize the idle process state, and sort it below
others.

Calls marked with xSnprintf shouldn't fail.
Abort program cleanly if any of them does.

This is/was necessary only on macOS, because you needed root in order
to read the process list. This was never necessary on Linux, and
it also raises security concerns, so now it needs to be enabled
explicitly at build time.

Thanks @Sworddragon for the heads up.
See #88.

In all the cases where sprintf was being used within htop, snprintf
could have been used. This patch replaces all uses of sprintf with
snprintf which makes sure that if a buffer is too small to hold the
resulting string, the string is simply cut short instead of causing
a buffer overflow which leads to undefined behaviour.

`sizeof(variable)` was used in these cases, as opposed to `sizeof
variable` which is my personal preference because `sizeof(variable)`
was already used in one way or another in other parts of the code.

translate dev_t to major:minor on other platforms.
Closes #316.

BFS-patched kernels can have kernel threads with priority -101.
This change makes priority -101 display as "RT", just like priority -100.

Closes #483.

Display them properly. Not fully convinced of the "no perm" message...

- replaces uid check from d18e9a48

on Darwin, htop needs to run with root privileges to display information
about other users processes. This commit makes running htop SUID root a
bit more safe.

Closes #228.

Fixes building on case-insensitive filesystems where String.h gets confused with <string.h>.

Subject: [PATCH 1/8] Rename String to StringUtils

Add a setting to hide all but the last component from the programme
path, leaving only the "basename". Makes htop more usable on smaller
screens, or systems with longer than average paths. Off by default.

"Highlight program basename" will still be respected, to further
visually separate process names from their arguments.

This is a work-in-progress, code is currently broken.
(Some actions, and notably, the header, are missing.)
