Ian Wienand 6fa73eac26 Update dib stats
This updates dib stats after creating a dashboard to use them.

Firstly, the individual return codes and runtime for each image type
are unnecessary, because they call come from the same invocation of
dib.  While it is definitely useful to track the size of each output
image, the overall status for a build is only a single value.  This
moves these duplciated values to ".status.<rc|duration>".

Unfortunately, there's really no way to say "what was the time of the
last non-null value" in grafana+graphite [1].  This means you can't do
something useful like show a singlestat of the relative time of the
last build "X hours ago" using the timer value.  We can work around
this by putting the timestamp of the last build in a gauge value; this
monotonically increases and is easy to turn into a relative time.

upgrade:
- The diskimage-builder stats have been reworked to be more useful.
The return code and duration is now stored in
``nodepool.dib_image-build.<diskimage_name>.status.<rc|duration>``;
previously this was split for each image format. This is
unnecessary and confusing since the results will always be the
same, since all formats are generated from the same
diskimage-builder run. An additional gauge
``nodepool.dib_image_build.<diskimage_name>.status.last_build`` is
added to make it easy to show relative time of builds in
dashboards.
