Paolo Bonzini cf7405bc02 qmp: add filtering of statistics by name
Allow retrieving only a subset of statistics.  This can be useful
for example in order to plot a subset of the statistics many times
a second: KVM publishes ~40 statistics for each vCPU on x86; retrieving
and serializing all of them would be useless.

Another use will be in HMP in the following patch; implementing the
filter in the backend is easy enough that it was deemed okay to make
this a public interface.

Example:

{ "execute": "query-stats",
  "arguments": {
    "target": "vcpu",
    "vcpus": [ "/machine/unattached/device[2]",
               "/machine/unattached/device[4]" ],
    "providers": [
      { "provider": "kvm",
        "names": [ "l1d_flush", "exits" ] } } }

{ "return": {
    "vcpus": [
      { "path": "/machine/unattached/device[2]"
        "providers": [
          { "provider": "kvm",
            "stats": [ { "name": "l1d_flush", "value": 41213 },
                       { "name": "exits", "value": 74291 } ] } ] },
      { "path": "/machine/unattached/device[4]"
        "providers": [
          { "provider": "kvm",
            "stats": [ { "name": "l1d_flush", "value": 16132 },
                       { "name": "exits", "value": 57922 } ] } ] } ] } }
