There's no point in sampling Graphite-specific stats, nor in reporting
them out, if Graphite is not enabled.

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".

Handling of dual stack v4/v6 was previously done by the individual
listener objects for INADDR_ANY listening addresses. If listening on
INADDR_ANY was requested, then each listener would create two instances,
one for IPv4 and one for IPv6. This works fine for INADDR_ANY but fails
for listening on host names that resolve to multiple addresses, such as
`localhost`.
Solve this by relieving the listener objects from handling this and
instead handle it in the code setting up the listeners. If a host name
resolves to multiple addresses, then set up multiple listeners (up to
two supported currently). This allows us to listen on `localhost` by
default and have both 127.0.0.1 and ::1 active. INADDR_ANY is handled
specially by also setting up :: in that case.
