Question: is it better to make the user call virDomainGetCPUStats twice
(once for total with flags==0, once for vcpu with flags=VCPU), where
there is a race between the two calls? Or should we instead return both
counts in the same call, by having two separate virTypedParameter stat
names and no flag?
In other words, I'm thinking it might be better to keep "cpu_time"
(VIR_DOMAIN_CPU_STATS_CPUTIME) as the first stat, and add a second stat
"vcpu_time" (VIR_DOMAIN_CPU_STATS_VCPUTIME) as a second stat, all within
the same call, with no need to add a flag.

So that would be a new #define here...

drop this enum...

virsh would then automatically output both stats in one pass, and
wouldn't need a --vcpu flag.
The qemu_driver implementation would be mostly the same, but instead of
basing things off a flag, it would always grab both stats (total and
vcpu) at once.
