Jim Warner bdb2fe0056 top: add some flexibility to dlopen() for numa support
A recent libnuma potential corruption problem solution
suggests that libnuma could change in the future so as
to not spew to stderr. This then raises a question how
top could exploit any such library change since we are
currently locked into version #1 of the library by way
of our dlopen("libnuma.so.1", RTLD_LAZY) runtime call.

While not an ultimate solution, this commit will first
try for the most recent version of that library during
top's startup before trying the original libnuma.so.1.
We do this via the unqualified library soname symlink.

For this new dlopen() call to succeed, technically the
numa 'devel' package would usually have been required,
but that's not always true with every distro. And when
the libnuma.so symlink isn't present, it can always be
manually added should a newer & better behaved library
arrive & users tire of the stderr warning at top exit.

COMPATIBILITY

    This code is intended for use with Linux 2.6.xx, 3.x and
    hopefully all future kernels.

INSTALLATION

    If you are using git version of the project you need extra step.

    ./autogen.sh

    After that, and everyone using .tar.xz version of procps-ng, can
    do normal build.  Read './configure --help' to select options for
    your needs.

    ./configure
    make
    make install

    If you have DejaGNU installed you can run optional test suite.

    make check
