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.

* Dynamically adjust the size of line reads.
* Remove some more uses of fgets with arbitrary sizes.
* Fix reading of lines and width of n column.

Fixes #514.

Closes #483.

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.

Conflicts:
	Process.c
	Process.h
	ProcessList.c
	ScreenManager.c
	linux/LinuxProcessList.c

Kinda runs, but functionality from the original main loop
is still missing. Patience.

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

(Yes, that's dynamic typing!)

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

(thanks to Rob Hoelz)

so that home directories can be used with both old and new versions of htop
(see #3496731).
