Add a new option '-g'/'--guest' to select a particular process by providing
the QEMU guest name.
Notes:
- The logic to figure out the pid corresponding to the guest name might look
scary, but works pretty reliably in practice; in the unlikely event that it
returns add'l flukes, it will bail out and hint at using '-p' instead, no
harm done.
- Mixing '-g' and '-p' is possible, and the final instance specified on the
command line is the significant one. This is consistent with current
behavior for '-p' which, if specified multiple times, also regards the final
instance as the significant one.

Apart from the source code, there does not seem to be a place that documents
the interactive capabilities of kvm_stat yet.

Having stats for single VMs can help to determine the problem of a VM
without the need of running other tools like perf.
The tracepoints already allowed pid level monitoring, but kvm_stat
didn't have support for it till now. Support for the newly implemented
debugfs vm monitoring was also implemented.
