Inside an LXC guest, lxcfs serves /proc/stat with the counters of the
host cores in the guest's cpuset, so an idle guest sharing a core with a
busy neighbor reported near-100% CPU.
When the agent detects it is running in an LXC guest (lxcfs mounted on
/proc/stat, container=lxc, or /run/systemd/container), derive CPU usage
from the guest's own cgroup instead: cpu.stat on cgroup v2, cpuacct on
v1, read at the cgroup mount root so it covers every process in the
guest. Usage is normalized by the usable cores (the smallest of the
affinity mask, cpuset and CPU quota).
Per-core usage is omitted in this mode, since the per-core /proc/stat
counters describe shared host cores and would contradict the total.
Iowait and steal are not available from cgroup accounting and report as
zero.
Hosts and Docker/Podman agents are unaffected and keep reading
/proc/stat, as does an LXC guest whose cgroup accounting is unreadable.

- add one minute charts
- update disk io to use bytes
- update hub and agent connection interfaces / handlers to be more
flexible
- change agent cache to use cache time instead of session id
- refactor collection of metrics which require deltas to track
separately per cache time
