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.

Adds support for showing columns with linux delay accounting.

This information can be read from the netlink interface, and thus we set up a socket to read from that when initializing the LinuxProcessList (LinuxProcessList_initNetlinkSocket). After that, for each process we call LinuxProcessList_readDelayAcctData, which sends a message thru the socket after setting up a callback to get the answer from the Kernel. That callback sets the process total delay time attribute. We then set the delay percent as the percentage of time process cpu time since last scan.

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

Several string pointer arrays pointed to const strings
but were not const themselves.

A few various structures and arrays were also marked const.

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

As suggested by @wolfgang42 in #100.

As suggested by @wolfgang42. Fixes #100.

Apparently invalid results can be returned by buggy drivers in old laptops,
as reported by @thukydides. See #596.

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

Specifically, Platform_signals[] and Platform_numberOfSignals. Both are
not supposed to be mutable. Marking them 'const' puts them into rodata
sections in binary. And for Platform_numberOfSignals, this aids
optimization (aids only Link Time Optimization for now). :)

Use strncmp() combined with a strlen() will give better performance
than a strstr in worst case. Especially when the match prefix is a
constant and not a variable.

While we are at it, replace the match() function in linux/Battery.c,
which uses a naive algorithm, with a macro that does better job by
utilizing Strings_startWith().

* 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.

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

Once a process goes zombie on Linux, /proc/PID/cmdline
gets empty. So, when we detect it is a zombie we stop
reading this file.
For processes that were zombies before htop started,
there's no way to get the full name.
Closes #49.

Issue noticed by GCC6 -Wmisleading-indentation.
Thanks @JIghtuse and @Explorer09!
Closes #409.

Got a report in #397 that htop runs in NetBSD
masquerading as Linux and using a compatibility /proc
(like we used to in FreeBSD) and that it builds fine
apart from this syscall.

With the CLAMP macro replacing the combination of MIN and MAX, we will
have at least two advantages:
1. It's more obvious semantically.
2. There are no more mixes of confusing uses like MIN(MAX(a,b),c) and
   MAX(MIN(a,b),c) and MIN(a,MAX(b,c)) appearing everywhere. We unify
   the 'clamping' with a single macro.
Note that the behavior of this CLAMP macro is different from
the combination `MAX(low,MIN(x,high))`.
* This CLAMP macro expands to two comparisons instead of three from
  MAX and MIN combination. In theory, this makes the code slightly
  smaller, in case that (low) or (high) or both are computed at
  runtime, so that compilers cannot optimize them. (The third
  comparison will matter if (low)>(high); see below.)
* CLAMP has a side effect, that if (low)>(high) it will produce weird
  results. Unlike MIN & MAX which will force either (low) or (high) to
  win. No assertion of ((low)<=(high)) is done in this macro, for now.

This CLAMP macro is implemented like described in glib
<http://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Standard-Macros.html>
and does not handle weird uses like CLAMP(a++, low++, high--) .

Thanks to @OmegaPhil for discussion and reviewing.

reclaimable slab as cached memory.

Hopefully this presents a more truthful representation of
available vs. used memory on Linux.
See brndnmtthws/conky#82, #242, #67, #263.

FreeBSD
Linux
Other platforms will have it undefined for now.

Implementations for Linux (tested) and FreeBSD (still untested, thanks to @etosan for providing the table).
Darwin and OpenBSD(ping @mmcco) builds should be broken now, pending their own tables.
