which can impact NUT forks which build using `libcommon.la` and similar
libraries. Added new last argument with `const char *progname` (may be
`NULL`) to check that we are signalling an expected program name when we

work with a PID. With the same effort, NUT programs which deal with PID
files to send signals (`upsd`, `upsmon`, drivers and `upsdrvctl`) would
now default to a safety precaution -- checking that the running process
with that PID has the expected program name (on platforms where we can
determine one). This might introduce regressions for heavily customized
NUT builds (e.g. embedded in NAS or similar devices) whose binary file
names differ significantly from a `progname` defined in the respective
NUT source file. [issue #2463]
