macos: preserve already-absolute libpcp paths in QT_LINKER_FIXUP
The previous guard only skipped rewriting a dependency already rooted
at $(PCP_LIB_DIR), so any other absolute libpcp path found by otool -L
would still get blindly prefixed with $(PCP_LIB_DIR), producing a
broken concatenated path instead of being left alone. Match on any
leading "/" instead, so every already-absolute dependency is preserved
verbatim and only a bare "libpcp.N.dylib" name gets rewritten.
Verified via a full Makepkgs --with-qt=yes rebuild plus standalone
double-invocation (make run twice) on pmdumptext, pmchart and pmtime:
otool -L shows a single /usr/local/lib/libpcp.N.dylib entry on both
runs and all three run standalone (-V) without DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
pmquery (also named in review) builds fine and never links libpcp, so
the fixup is a no-op there. pmgadgets fails to build for an unrelated,
pre-existing reason (missing images/pmgadgets.png, not in default
SUBDIRS); pmview needs ENABLE_QT3D, which this configuration has off.

macos: fix libpcp install_name for qmake-built Qt tools
pmchart, pmdumptext, pmtime, pmquery, pmgadgets and pmview are linked
directly by qmake's generated Makefile via the QTMAKE build-me recipe,
which bypasses the $(PROGTARGET)/$(LIBTARGET) rules in buildrules that
invoke LINKER_MAKERULE after linking. On macOS that rule is what
rewrites a binary's bare "libpcp.N.dylib" dependency into an absolute
$(PCP_LIB_DIR) path, so without it these Qt tools keep the bare name
and dyld fails to load them outside the build tree.
Add QT_LINKER_FIXUP, the same fixup parameterized on an explicit binary
path (build-me has no mtime-based prerequisites, so $@ isn't available
and the recipe can legitimately run more than once per build; the
fixup skips paths already rooted at $(PCP_LIB_DIR) so repeat runs are
a no-op instead of nesting the prefix), and call it after $(LNMAKE) in
each affected GNUmakefile.

build/tar/verify-install: replace tar -tv usage
coderabbitai pointed out in the context of PR 2701 that
tar -tv is not portable ... GNU and BSD cannot agree on the output
format, so post-processing this with awk to pick fields out is
doomed.
Claude handily suggested that the underlying archive format is
invariant, and so a drop-in replacement in Python could be used
safely across all platforms.
[I've finally encountered an actual example where Python is really,
really useful].

libpcp: pmPrintValue: allow control of digits of precision for float and double values
After bozo was rebuilt, the new faster CPU (AMD this time, not Intel as
well) mean that the lmsensors PMDA was exporting values for PM_TYPE_FLOAT
metrics like lmsensors.amdgpu_pci_7600.sclk in the 600000000 range, but
t.his is big enough to flip libc so that %x.8g produces a value of 6e+8
(scientific notation, ot fixed format) which blows up qa/1480 when it asks
awk to do arithmetic on this value which is no longer numeric in awkland.
This is really symptomatic of an arbitrary decision in libpcp (8) that
the user cannot change. pmPrintValue() is sufficently low-level that the
problem is visible in pminfo, pmprobe, pmrep, ...
So I've introduced another environment variable, $PCP_FLOAT_PRECISION that
can be used to set the precision for float value printing to be something
other than 8.
And the same problem exists and is fixed the same way for PM_TYPE_DOUBLE
where the (new) $PCP_DOUBLE_PRECISION allows something different to the
hard-coded 16 digits of precision.

Debian packaging: deal with non-systemd systems
Various of our "postinst" scripts were blindly assuming that if systemd
helpers like systemd-tmpfiles or systemd-sysusers were installed than
systemd was running ... on MX Linux, out of the box, these helpers
are present but systemd is not active.
Add a [ "`ps -p 1 -o comm=`" = systemd ] guard to check if systemd is
really doing init's job.

pmdalinux: fix mem.numa.hugepages on non-sequential NUMA node ids
refresh_sysfs_numa_hugepages() used the pmdaCache walk index as the
NUMA node number when opening sysfs paths and building instance names.
On ppc64le Power systems, firmware-assigned node ids are often
non-sequential or omit node0, so the wrong directories were scanned and
mem.numa.hugepages.* returned no values even when per-node hugepage
sysfs entries existed.
Use pernode_t::nodeid from pmdaCacheLookup(), consistent with
numa_meminfo.c. Add qa/linux/sysfs-hugepages-004.tgz exercising a
node1-only layout and update qa/1788 expected output.

pmproxy: release the X509 reference in the CERT_REQD check
SSL_get_peer_certificate() returns a certificate whose reference count
has been incremented, so the caller owns that reference and must release
it with X509_free(). On OpenSSL 3.x the name is a compatibility macro
for SSL_get1_peer_certificate(), which has the same owning semantics.
81a9efe96db6 called it inline in the NULL test and discarded the result.
Because of the short-circuit order the reference is taken only when the
connection is TLS and an SSL object exists, and it is leaked precisely
when a certificate is present - that is, on the path where the request
is allowed through. on_headers_complete() runs once per request, so a
pmproxy started with -Q accumulates one X509 per authenticated REST
request for the lifetime of the daemon.
Capture the reference and free it, leaving the accept/reject logic
unchanged. SSL_get0_peer_certificate() would avoid the reference
entirely but is not available on the older OpenSSL versions pcp still
supports.
Reported and fixed while backporting 81a9efe96db6 to pcp 6.3.7 and
6.0.1. Fixes #2693.

pcp-ps: keep archive sample counts correct
Archive processing fetches the first record before reporting starts.
Keep the extra fetch for every output mode so `-s N` produces N
reports, while only %CPU output waits for a previous sample.
Add a focused test for formats that need previous metric values.

pcp-ps: optimize initial reporting and archive samples
Print non-CPU reports from the first sample, while retaining the
previous-sample wait for %CPU output. Compute TIME from current user
and system CPU time, exit live one-shot reports immediately, and add
an archive warm-up fetch so -s N prints N reports.
Fix pylint formatting issues.

pcp-tools: correct None handling and CPU utilization
Handle None values safely in mpstat printers instead of calling replace()
on None. Fix per-CPU utilization scaling so aggregate CPU values are
divided by the total CPU count only when reporting the aggregate.
Update interrupt usage tests to use the new computation context and
explicit interrupt report type.fix(mpstat): correct None handling and CPU utilization

These two need to share the same logic for the way they run configure
across all platforms.

pmsearch: reimplement with SQLite FTS5 replacing RediSearch/Valkey (#2675)
Replace the RediSearch/Valkey-based full-text search with a local SQLite
FTS5 backend, removing the need for any external service.
A base search index is built at package install time from PMDA help text
using newhelp -S. Each night, pmsearch_daily copies the base index and
extends it with instance names from the running system.
Key changes:
- src/libpcp_web/src/search.c: SQLite FTS5 search backend with BM25
ranking and indom score boost for better help text discoverability
- src/newhelp: add -S flag to build SQLite search indexes, with stub
fallback when SQLite is not available
- src/pmsearch: simplified client using the local SQLite index
- src/pmsearch/pmsearch_daily.sh: nightly index rebuild with systemd
timer and cron support
- SQLite is an optional dependency; builds without it skip pmsearch
and use stub implementations (nosearch.c, search_sqlite_stub.c)
- QA tests (1861, 1871, 1872) updated for the new implementation
- Man pages for pmsearch(1), pmsearch_daily(1), pmsearchsetup(3) updated

configure.ac: postfix PMDA depends on Perl
Don't build or package the postfix PMDA if Perl is not available
... in practice this most likely means a 32-bit platform where
Perl is not Y2038-safe, like, er, SUSE Tumbleweed i586.

qa/admin/post-setup: (new) script to setup a VM in the QA Farm
Once the kvm stuff is done and the base system installed and running
and ssh keys setup, this script will do all of the heavy lifting
- checking sudo is working
- getting awk and git installed
- setting up networking
- enable getty for the virsh console
- cloning the pcp git tree
- check packing-list exists for platform and install missing packages
needed for pcp build and qa
- running configure in the pcp tree (qa/admin/myconfigure -q)
- running a stripped down version of qa/admin/check-vm
Only tested for Debian so far ... I'll add more package managers
as I rebuild the QA Farm.

qa: mmv tests assuming mmv PMDA is running
The mmv PMDA should be present always, but if it is not running these
tests die in horrible ways rather than _notrun ... add guards.

qa: refactor build for *.out files
Previous regime was packaging .out files for :retired scripts but no
the test scripts themselves. With this change neither are packaged for
:retired or :reserved tests.
Get rid of all references to qa_outfiles and replace the makefile
one-liner with a (new) ./list-outfiles script.
Explicitly add some "other" files that are needed but are not .out
files (these were being packaged by accident in the past).

build/tar: postinstall improvements
Extend the "cull" list of files and directories from old versions
of the tarball packaging to better match the current reality ...
driven by the (new) verify-install script on vm06 (FreeBSD 14.4).

build/tar/verify-install: (new) check installation against tarball
Specifically ...
- symlinks are still symlinks
- directories are present and don't contain files not in the tarball
- files are present with correct size and modes
And then exceptions for all the ones we expect to be different after
some QA churn.
Most useful for finding old files that used to be in the tarball
but are no longer packaged ... these should be included in the
./postinstall cleanup script.
