	|  dada03db9b 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.
