- sort entries according to the spec
- add to the `Monitor` category

this way a remount of /proc will not reset starttimes
and we can also see startup times for processes started before the mount
of /proc

also record btime (boot time in seconds since epoch) as Linux semi-global

When a process name changes from a long string to a short string,
truncate instead of just overwriting the beginning.

Closes #785.

As noted by @marcelpaulo. I've had ugly diffs that fiddled with
this file in the past, so it's good to see it gone.

Closes #800.

This was reported by @agguser.

This would prevent a careless future package maintainer from creating a
release tarball with a defective configure script. :)

Also, add a warning in the autogen.sh phase if pkg.m4 is unused.

This broke with commit db05ba61.

With this commit:

* if pkgconfig is installed, it will expand the code inside the shell if, adding the pkgconfig-based tests for the dependencies of Linux delay accounting.
* if pkgconfig is not installed, it will add an error message inside the test of Linux delay accounting, telling the user to install pkgconfig and rebuild the configure script if they want to use Linux delay accounting.

The end result is:

* people running Linux
  * will not need pkgconfig when not using delay accounting
  * will need pkgconfig when using delay accounting
    * if they don't have it
      * they are told by configure they need to install it and re-run autogen.sh when running from Git
      * they are told by configure they need to install it and re-run configure when running from the tarball
* people not running Linux
  * will never need pkgconfig

...and in none of the above scenarios the generated configure script produces unexpanded macros for users checking out the sources from Git.

Header creation fails with non-utf8 locale and python3.
Simply set LC_ALL="C" and use python3 to reproduce the issue.

env LC_ALL="C" ./scripts/MakeHeader.py MetersPanel.c
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./scripts/MakeHeader.py", line 32, in <module>
    for line in file.readlines():

    return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 956: ordinal not in range(128)

This changes is python2 and python3 compatible
