Olga Denisova f68e3e49d4 pybootchartgui: visualize /proc/net/dev network stats in graphs
This patch adds support for parsing and visualizing network interface statistics from /proc/net/dev in pybootchartgui. It introduces a new NetSample class to hold per-interface metrics, including received/transmitted bytes and their deltas over time.

The data is drawn using line and box charts in draw.py and helps to monitor
network usage during the boot process for each interface individually.

			    PYBOOTCHARTGUI
			   ----------------

pybootchartgui is a tool (now included as part of bootchart2) for
visualization and analysis of the GNU/Linux boot process. It renders
the output of the boot-logger tool bootchart (see
http://www.bootchart.org/) to either the screen or files of various
formats. Bootchart collects information about the processes, their
dependencies, and resource consumption during boot of a GNU/Linux
system. The pybootchartgui tools visualizes the process tree and
overall resource utilization.

pybootchartgui is a port of the visualization part of bootchart from
Java to Python and Cairo.

Adapted from the bootchart-documentation:

  The CPU and disk statistics are used to render stacked area and line
  charts. The process information is used to create a Gantt chart
  showing process dependency, states and CPU usage.

  A typical boot sequence consists of several hundred processes. Since
  it is difficult to visualize such amount of data in a comprehensible
  way, tree pruning is utilized. Idle background processes and
  short-lived processes are removed. Similar processes running in
  parallel are also merged together.

  Finally, the performance and dependency charts are rendered as a
  single image to either the screen or in PNG, PDF or SVG format.
