New nightly build with "not responding" (hung) detection

Hello,

Just a quick shout since I added experimental support for detecting "hung" applications. It is built into CheckProcState and works much like "started" and "stopped" but it now also has a "hung" state.

You can use it like so:

  1. When process (badapp.exe) is "responding" (not hung)
    CheckProcState quake.exe=stopped badapp.exe=started notepad++.exe=started
    OK:OK: All processes are running.
    
    CheckProcState quake.exe=stopped badapp.exe=hung notepad++.exe=started
    CRITICAL:CRITICAL: BadApp.exe: started (critical)
    
  1. When process (badapp.exe) is "not responding" (hung)
    CheckProcState quake.exe=stopped badapp.exe=started notepad++.exe=started
    CRITICAL:CRITICAL: BadApp.exe: hung (critical)
    
    CheckProcState quake.exe=stopped badapp.exe=hung notepad++.exe=started
    OK:OK: All processes are running.
    

*NOTICE* this also has the automatic crash report submission built in (so be ware!).
