[libvirt] [RFCv2] Introduce API for retrieving bulk domain stats v2

I'd like to propose a (hopefully) fairly future-proof API to retrieve
various statistics for domains.
The motivation is that management layers that use libvirt usually poll
libvirt for statistics using various split up APIs we currently provide.
To get all the necessary stuff, the mgmt app need to issue Ndomains *
Napis calls and cope with the various returned formats. The APIs I'm
wanting to introduce here will:
1) Return data in a format that we can expand in the future and is
hierarchical. This version returns the data as typed parameters where
the fields are constructed as dot-separated strings containing names and
other stuff in a list of typed params.
2) Stats for multiple (all) domains can be queried at once and are
returned in one call. This will allow to decrease the overhead necessary
to issue multiple calls per domain multiplied by the count of domains.
3) Selectable (bit mask) fields in the returned format. This will allow
to retrieve only specific stats according to the APPs need.
Initially the implementation will introduce the option to retrieve
block, interface and cpu stats with the possibility to add more in the
future.
The stats groups will be enabled using a bit field @stats passed as the
function argument. A few groups for inspiration:
VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_STATE
VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_CPU
VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_BLOCK
VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_INTERFACE
the returned typed params will use the following scheme
state.state = running
state.reason = started
cpu.count = 8
cpu.0.state = running
cpu.0.time = 1234
...
I'm also thinking of doing an async version of this, where the user
would provide a callback that would be called for each returned domain
but I'm not quite sure if that would play nicely with our RPC so that
requires a bit more investigation first.
