qmp: add filtering of statistics by provider

Allow retrieving the statistics from a specific provider only.
This can be used in the future by HMP commands such as "info
sync-profile" or "info profile".  The next patch also adds
filter-by-provider capabilities to the HMP equivalent of
query-stats, "info stats".

Example:

{ "execute": "query-stats",
  "arguments": {
    "target": "vm",
    "providers": [
      { "provider": "kvm" } ] } }

The QAPI is a bit more verbose than just a list of StatsProvider,
so that it can be subsequently extended with filtering of statistics
by name.

If a provider is specified more than once in the filter, each request
will be included separately in the output.
