Allow retrieving the statistics from a specific provider only.
This can be used in the future by HMP commands such as "info
sync-profile" or "info profile". The next patch also adds
filter-by-provider capabilities to the HMP equivalent of
query-stats, "info stats".
Example:
{ "execute": "query-stats",
"arguments": {
"target": "vm",
"providers": [
{ "provider": "kvm" } ] } }
The QAPI is a bit more verbose than just a list of StatsProvider,
so that it can be subsequently extended with filtering of statistics
by name.
If a provider is specified more than once in the filter, each request
will be included separately in the output.
