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

A few various structures and arrays were also marked const.

sys/time.h for struct timeval

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.

Closes #483.

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.

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

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

gcc gives warnings like this:

warning: ignoring return value of ‘fscanf’, declared with attribute
warn_unused_result

Assign value to a variable, cast to (void) to discard it.

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

(thanks to Trond Endestrol)

simplify processor data accounting (add CPUData structure)
remove Process_clone trick

Reduces resulting code size.

disable useless code in release builds such as runtime type-checking on
dynamic data structures and process fields that are not being computed,
faster(?) method for verifying the process owner (still need to ensure
correctness), don't destroy and create process objects for hidden kernel
threads over and over. Phew. I shouldn't be doing all this today, but I
could not resist.
