Similarly as for the `stats_rate_min_max()`,
move the `stats_counters_calc_rate()` functionality
to the same separate thread, so that we do the work
more efficiently and not be dependent on the call_timer
runs by poller.
Furthermore it makes more sense to keep in the `statistics.c`,
since it obviously has to do with statistics.
Additionally:
Update the test-stats due to these changes in the `call_timer()`
We have to call the `stats_counters_calc_rate()` now explicitely from
the test-stats.c, because the `call_timer()` is not anymore
responsible for providing stats counters rate calculations.

Distinguish between two different types of "gauge" type metrics: Actual
gauges which (at least conceptually) have a single continuous value, and
metrics which are comprised of discretely sampled values, possibly from
multiple sources.
Real gauges with continuous values don't have mean/average/deviation
values directly associated with them, as calculating these requires
sampling or some other analysis.
Sampled metrics on the other hand do have these associated values.
Clarify which function does what and where each value comes from.

Rename structs and variables to make it clear that these min/max values
are min/max per-sec rate values.
Carry mins and maxes separately from averages. This changes the meaning
of $command_ps_avg away from an "average of averages" to an actual
average, which is more accurate.
Calculate this average based on per-interval differences and interval
duration (stats_rate_min_max_avg_sample).
Side effect: As rtpe_latest_graphite_interval_start is now set in
print_graphite_data instead of in graphite_loop_run, the test now
reports a different "interval calls duration".

Perform accumulation of stats only once (i.e. increasing an actual
counter) and report stats based on differences to previous values,
instead of carrying multiple stats counters for each metric and
resetting each counter to zero whenever stats are reported.
`rtpe_stats` is the global master accumulator.
`_intv` variables are intermediate and local storage for values sampled
from `rtpe_stats` at regular intervals.
`_rate` and `_diff` variables hold stats calculated from `rtpe_stats`
and the respective `_intv` variable whenever the sampling and reporting
occurs.
`stats_counters_calc_diff` is used to calculate stats as differences
between `rtpe_stats` and the last sampled `_intv`
`stats_counters_calc_rate` does the same but calculates a per-second
rate, based on a microsecond duration.
Eliminate now-useless struct global_stats_ax

This fixes the payload counts not being tracked correctly when payload
types repeat after the tracker rolls over.

Keep a running lifetime total of all "gauge" type metrics. Also track
the square of the sums of all "gauge" type metrics in order to determine
the standard deviation.

Rename test suites from *-test.c to test-*.c as the former is
conflicting with the file name pattern of the build tests, which are
listed in .gitignore.

Instead of just remembering the last seen RTP payload type, this adds a
tracker that keeps track of the last 32 seen payload types and keep the
list in order of how often each type was seen.
