amari.kpi: New package with driver for Amarisoft LTE stack to retrieve KPI-related measurements from logs

amari.kpi provides LogMeasure that takes enb.xlog (TODO and enb.log) as
input, and produces kpi.Measurements on output.

    enb.xlog     ─────────
    ─────────>  │   Log   │
                │         │ ────> []kpi.Measurement
    ─────────>  │ Measure │
    enb.log      ─────────

We read log data organizing periods around stats queries, and for now we
build Measurement from stats' counters. To do so we take δ(stats_prev, stat)
and process it mapping Amarisoft counters to 3GPP ones specified by
kpi.Measurement.

We emit measurement X after reading stats X+2 - i.e. we emit measurement
for a period after reading data covering _next_ period. It is organized
this way to account for init/fini correction:

             fini adjust
            -------------
           '             '
     Sx    v     Sx+1    '   Sx+2
  ────|───────────|───────────|────
       Measurement Measurement
            X          X+1

This approach has following limitations:

- for most of the counters there is no direct mapping in between
  Amarisoft and 3GPP. For example we currently use s1_erab_setup_request for
  ERAB.EstabAddAtt.sum, but this mapping is not strictly correct and will
  break if corresponding S1 E-RAB SETUP REQUEST message contains multiple
  ERABs. The code has corresponding FIXME marks where such approximations
  are used.

- it is not possible to implement init/fini correction precisely. From
  aggregated statistics we only get total amount for a fini value for a
  period - without knowing which part of it corresponds to init events
  from previous period, and which part to init events from current one.
  With that it is only possible to make a reasonable guess and try to
  preserve statistical properties, but not more. See m_initfini in the
  code for details.

- it is possible to handle eNB with single cell only. This limitation
  comes from the fact that in Amarisoft LTE stack S1-related counters
  come as "globals" ones, while e.g. RRC-related counters are "per-cell".
  It is thus not possible to see how much S1 connection establishments
  are associated with one particular cell if there are several of them.

TODO also parse enb.log to fix those issues.
