[libvirt] [PATCHv2 1/5] lib: Introduce API for retrieving bulk domain stats

The motivation for this API is that management layers that use libvirt
usually poll for statistics using various split up APIs we currently
provide. To get all the necessary stuff, the app needs to issue a lot of
calls and agregate the results.

The APIs I'm introducing here:
1) Returns data in a format that we can expand in the future and is
(pseudo) hierarchical. The data is returned 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.

The stats groups will be enabled using a bit field @stats passed as the
function argument. A few sample stats groups that this API will support:

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
