Use strncmp() combined with a strlen() will give better performance
than a strstr in worst case. Especially when the match prefix is a
constant and not a variable.
While we are at it, replace the match() function in linux/Battery.c,
which uses a naive algorithm, with a macro that does better job by
utilizing Strings_startWith().

* Dynamically adjust the size of line reads.
* Remove some more uses of fgets with arbitrary sizes.
* Fix reading of lines and width of n column.
Fixes#514.
disable useless code in release builds such as runtime type-checking on
dynamic data structures and process fields that are not being computed,
faster(?) method for verifying the process owner (still need to ensure
correctness), don't destroy and create process objects for hidden kernel
threads over and over. Phew. I shouldn't be doing all this today, but I
could not resist.
