Child trace events were included in calculation of the overall total,
which is used for calculation of the percentages of the '%Total' column.
However, the parent trace envents' stats summarize the child trace
events, hence we'd incorrectly account for them twice, leading to
slightly wrong stats.
With this fix, we use the correct total. Consequently, the sum of the
child trace events' '%Total' column values is identical to the
respective value of the respective parent event. However, this also
means that the sum of the '%Total' column values will aggregate to more
than 100 percent.

Toggle display total number of events by guest (debugfs only).
When switching to display of events by guest, field filters remain
active. I.e. the number of events per guest reported considers only
events matching the filters. Likewise with pid/guest filtering.
Note that when switching to display of events by guest, DebugfsProvider
remains to collect data for events as it did before, but the read()
method summarizes the values by pid.

It might be handy to display the full history of event stats to compare
the current event distribution against any available historic data.
Since we have that available for debugfs, we offer a respective command
line option to display what's available.

Add new command 's' to modify the update interval. Limited to a maximum of
25.5 sec and a minimum of 0.1 sec, since curses cannot handle longer

Provide an interactive command to reset the tracepoint statistics.
Requires some extra work for debugfs, as the counters cannot be reset.
On the up side, this offers us the opportunity to have debugfs values
reset on startup and whenever a filter is modified, becoming consistent
with the tracepoint provider. As a bonus, 'kvmstat -dt' will now provide
useful output, instead of mixing values in totally different orders of
magnitude.
Furthermore, we avoid unnecessary resets when any of the filters is
"changed" interactively to the previous value.

Add a new option '-g'/'--guest' to select a particular process by providing
the QEMU guest name.
Notes:
- The logic to figure out the pid corresponding to the guest name might look
scary, but works pretty reliably in practice; in the unlikely event that it
returns add'l flukes, it will bail out and hint at using '-p' instead, no
harm done.
- Mixing '-g' and '-p' is possible, and the final instance specified on the
command line is the significant one. This is consistent with current
behavior for '-p' which, if specified multiple times, also regards the final
instance as the significant one.

Having stats for single VMs can help to determine the problem of a VM
without the need of running other tools like perf.
The tracepoints already allowed pid level monitoring, but kvm_stat
didn't have support for it till now. Support for the newly implemented
debugfs vm monitoring was also implemented.
