rtla: Replace atoi() with a robust strtoi()
...
The atoi() function does not perform error checking, which can lead to
undefined behavior when parsing invalid or out-of-range strings. This
can cause issues when parsing user-provided numerical inputs, such as
signal numbers, PIDs, or CPU lists.
To address this, introduce a new strtoi() helper function that safely
converts a string to an integer. This function validates the input and
checks for overflows, returning a negative value on failure.
Replace all calls to atoi() with the new strtoi() function and add
proper error handling to make the parsing more robust and prevent
potential issues.

rtla: Fix -C/--cgroup interface
...
Currently, user can only specify cgroup to the tracer's thread the
following ways:
`-C[cgroup]`
`-C[=cgroup]`
`--cgroup[=cgroup]`
If user tries to specify cgroup as `-C [cgroup]` or `--cgroup [cgroup]`,
the parser silently fails and rtla's cgroup is used for the tracer
threads.
To make interface more user-friendly, allow user to specify cgroup in
the aforementioned way, i.e. `-C [cgroup]` and `--cgroup [cgroup]`.
Refactor identical logic between -t/--trace and -C/--cgroup into a
common function.
Change documentation to reflect this user interface change.

rtla/timerlat_top: Add timerlat user-space support

Add the support for running timerlat threads in user-space. In this
mode, enabled with -u/--user-threads, timerlat dispatches user-space
processes that will loop in the timerlat_fd, measuring the overhead
for going to user-space and then returning to the kernel - in addition
to the existing measurements.
Here is one example of the tool's output with -u enabled:
$ sudo timerlat top -u -d 600 -q

When the user sets -c <cpu-list> try to move rtla out of the <cpu-list>,
even without an -H option. This is useful to avoid having rtla

This works by removing <cpu-list> from rtla's current affinity.
If rtla fails to move itself away it is not that of a problem as this

rtla: Remove procps-ng dependency
...
Daniel Wagner reported to me that readproc.h got deprecated. Also,
while the procps-ng library was available on Fedora, it was not available
on RHEL, which is a piece of evidence that it was not that used.
rtla uses procps-ng only to find the PID of the tracers' workload.
I used the procps-ng library to avoid reinventing the wheel. But in this
case, reinventing the wheel took me less time than the time we already
took trying to work around problems.
Implement a function that reads /proc/ entries, checking if:
- the entry is a directory
- the directory name is composed only of digits (PID)
- the directory contains the comm file
- the comm file contains a comm that matches the tracers'
workload prefix.
- then return true; otherwise, return false.
And use it instead of procps-ng.
