Rationale (copied from htop issue #471):
The function name "setValues" is misleading. For most OOP (object-
oriented programming) contexts, setXXX functions mean they will change
some member variables of an object into something specified in
function arguments. But in the *Meter_setValues() case, the new values
are not from the arguments, but from a hard-coded source. The caller
is not supposed to change the values[] to anything it likes, but
rather to "update" the values from the source. Hence, updateValues is
a better name for this family of functions.
Two changes in this commit:
- All meters now explicitly specify "maxItems" property, even for just
1 item. (Exception is "container" CPU meter classes, which use
CUSTOM_METERMODE.)
- "maxItems" being 0 is now allowed. This will let bar meters and graph
meters render an empty meter.
