docs: replace 'procps_pids' stuff with revised version

The original approach contained a fatal flaw. In order
to use those man pages, users would have been required
to already know how to use the library. Or alternately
one could randomly search each of them while trying to
ascertain which function call satisfies their need and
what exactly was the proper compliment/order required.

So, this revised approach tries to simplify things and
document only what is not apparent in the header file.
Along the way, the following assumptions were germane.

1) It is the kernel folks' job to document /proc files
not to mention fields within those files. And since we
don't yet know what some of those fields represent, we
shouldn't attempt to document any of those we do know.

2) Our header file serves as an essential reference in
successful exploitation of this new library interface.

3) The description represents functions as they appear
in the header itself making them immediately familiar.

4) Armed with our header file users can easily see the
self-documenting enumerators & structures. There isn't
a need to explain them yet again in this man document.

5) Contrary to man guidelines, we shouldn't list error
codes. Simple generic guidance serves everyone better.

The following references represent a history for those
man documents this new version is intended to replace.

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.SS Overview
+Central to this interface is a simple `result'
+structure reflecting an `item' plus its value (in a union
+with standard C language types as members).
+All `result' structures are automatically allocated and
+provided by the library.
+
+By specifying an array of `items', these structures can be
+organized as a `stack', potentially yielding many results
+with a single function call.
+Thus, a `stack' can be viewed as a variable length record
+whose content and order is determined solely by the user.
+
+As part of each interface there are two unique items.
+The `noop' and `extra' items exist to hold user values.
+They are never set by the library, but the `extra'
+result will be zeroed with each library interaction.
+
+The pids.h file will be an essential document during
+user program development.
+There you will find available items, their return type
+(the `result' struct member name) and the source for such values.
+Additional enumerators and structures are also documented there.
+
+.SS Usage
+The following would be a typical sequence of calls to
+this interface.
+
+.nf
+.RB "1. " procps_pids_new()
+.RB "2. " procps_pids_get() ", " procps_pids_reap() " or " procps_pids_select()
+.RB "3. " procps_pids_unref()
+.fi
+
+Optionally, a user may choose to sort results returned from
+\fBreap\fR or \fBselect\fR.
+The \fBsort\fR function parameters \fIstacks\fR and \fInumstacked\fR
+would normally be those returned in the `pids_fetch' structure.
+
+.SS Caveats
+The <pids> API differs from others in that those items
+of interest must be provided at \fBnew\fR or \fBreset\fR time,
+the latter being unique to this API.
+If either the \fIitems\fR or \fInumitems\fR parameter is zero at
+\fBnew\fR time, then \fBreset\fR becomes mandatory before
+issuing any other call.
+
+For the \fBnew\fR and \fBunref\fR functions, the address of an \fIinfo\fR
+struct pointer must be supplied.
+With \fBnew\fR it must have been initialized to NULL.
+With \fBunref\fR it will be reset to NULL if the reference count reaches zero.
+
+The \fBget\fR function is an iterator, for successive
+PIDs/TIDs, returning those items previously identified
+via \fBnew\fR or \fBreset\fR.
+
+The \fBselect\fR function requires an array of PIDs or UIDs as
+\fIthese\fR along with \fInumthese\fR to identify which processes
+are to be fetched.
+This function then operates as a subset of \fBreap\fR
+while returning those items previously identified via \fBnew\fR
+or \fBreset\fR.
+
+Lastly, a \fBfatal_proc_unmounted\fR function may be called before
+any other function to ensure that the /proc/ directory is mounted.
+As such, the \fIitem\fR parameter would be NULL and the
+\fIreturn_self\fR parameter zero.
+If, however, some items are desired for the issuing program (a
+\fIreturn_self\fR other than zero) then the \fBnew\fR call must precede
+it to obtain the required \fIinfo\fR pointer.
+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.SS Functions Returning an `int'
+An error will be indicated by a negative number that
+is always the inverse of some well known errno.h value.
+
+Success is indicated by a zero return value.
+However, the \fBref\fR and \fBunref\fR functions return
+the current \fIinfo\fR structure reference count.
+
+.SS Functions Returning an `address'
+An error will be indicated by a NULL return pointer
+with the reason found in the formal errno value.
+
+Success is indicated by a pointer to the named structure.
+
+.SH DEBUGGING
+To aid in program development, there is a provision that can
+help ensure `result' member references agree with library
+expectations.
+This feature can be activated through either of the following
+methods and any discrepancies will be wrtten to \fBstderr\fR.
+
+.IP 1) 3
+Add CFLAGS='-DXTRA_PROCPS_DEBUG' to any other ./configure
+options employed.
+
+.IP 2) 3
+Add #include <procps/xtra-procps-debug.h> to any program
+\fIafter\fR the #include <procps/pids.h>.
+
+.PP
+This verification feature incurs substantial overhead.
+Therefore, it is important that it \fInot\fR be activated
+for a production/release build.

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.BR procps_pids_new ()
-creates a new PID information structure that be used in subsequent calls to
-.BR procps_pids_get (3),

-.BR procps_pids_select (3),

-functions. The pointer to \fIinfo\fR will have memory allocated and a structure
-created.
-
-\fIitems\fR is an array of enums up to \fInumitems\fR long that selects what
-information about the processed will be stored. \fInumitems\fR is used to
-allocate memory and must be at least the length of \fIitems\fR but can be more.
-For information about what \fIitems\fR can contain, see the \fBPID ITEMS\fR
-section in
-.BR libproc (3).
-
-Once the structure is no longer required,
-.BR procps_pids_unref (3)
-should be used to free it.
-
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-The function returns 0 on success and one of negative values below
-on failure.

-.SH NAME
-procps_pids_reap \- Harvest all the PIDS information structure.
-.SH SYNOPSIS

-.BI "struct pids_fetch  * procps_pids_reap(struct pids_info *" info ", enum pids_fetch_type " which ");"
-.sp
-Link with \fI\-lprocps\fP.
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBprocps_pids_reap()\fR is the function that will load the various
-files in the
-.BR proc (5)
-filesystem and fill the returned structure with the parsed values as
-well as a summary of the information gathered.
-The function is able to parse only processes or also include threads, the
-option \fIwhich\fR can be set to \fBPIDS_FETCH_TASKS_ONLY\fR or
-\fBPIDS_FETCH_THREADS_TOO\fR to determine what is collected.
-
-The info structure first needs to be initialised by
-.BR procps_pids_new (3).
-if \fBprocps_pids_reap()\fR returns successfully, a program can
-then iterate through a loop using the accessor methods described in
-.BR libproc (3).
-
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-\fBprocps_pids_reap()\fR returns a pointer to struct pids_fetch
-on success and NULL on failure.
-

-\fBprocps_pids_reap()\fR first appeared in libproc-2 version 0.0.

-Link with \fI\-lprocps\fP.
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-During the initial call to \fBprocps_pids_new\fR(3), the information structure
-is allocated and the information items are specified.
-\fBprocps_pids_reset\fR allows you to change what items for a process are collected
-without having to unreference and create a new \fIpids_info\fR structure.
-
-The changed  PID information structure can then be used in subsequent calls to

-.BR procps_pids_reap (3),
-.BR procps_pids_reset (3),
-.BR procps_pids_select (3),
-.BR procps_pids_sort (3)
-or even to further calls to \fBprocps_pids_reset\fR itself.
-
-The \fIitems\fR and \fInumitems\fR parameters are identical to the parameters
-used in \fBprocps_pids_new\fR.

-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBprocps_pids_select()\fR provides the same functionality as

-\fIthese\fR is an array of process IDs (PIDs) or User IDs that the

-\fInumthese\fR the length of the \fIthese\fR array.
-
-The \fIwhich\fR parameter tells the funtion what type of information is

-\fIthese\fR is an array of PIDs or \fBPIDS_SELECT_UID\fR if \fIthese\fR

-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBprocps_pids_sort\fR sorts the given \fIstacks\fR stack of process

-must be the length of the \fIstacks\fR array and all the stacks in the

-
-The stacks value can be obtained by a previous call of
