Extend reported statistics on given guests

Summary: Extend reported statistics

QEMU is gaining introspectable statistics. This is an RFE for follow up work/integration in libvirt. The expected output is more statistics reported, for instance virConnectGetAllDomainStats() and virDomainListGetStats() would report more statistics on given guests.

libvirt-CI: Support for container executions in libvirt's lcitool using a container library binding

Libvirt has a tool called lcitool which is used for managing the CI need for libvirt and related projects. Improvements will be made to the system toward extending the container functionality to build a container locally, and execute workloads in the container. This will give libvirt developers and maintainers the ability to debug in a project specific manner among other use cases. The goal of the project is to use podman-py, a python binding for the RESTful API of podman services , to implement this feature.
