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.

Apparently a line longer than 255 chars was spotted in the wild:

- replaces uid check from d18e9a48

- uses sysctl(KERN_PROCARGS2) on *BSD
- doesn't work on Linux yet

Closes #228.

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

On my machine, this gives a ~20% improvement in htop process time use with the default config.

Changes in object model: separate class objects to store vtable. Also, nicer UTF-8 display of big numbers.

* Performance improvements
* Support for splitting CPU meters into two or four columns
  (thanks to Wim Heirman)
* Switch from PLPA, which is now deprecated, to HWLOC.
* Bring back support for native Linux sched_setaffinity,
  so we don't have to use HWLOC where we don't need to.
* Support for typing in user names and column fields in selection panels.
