[crunch2] Add I/O (and other?) stats to crunch-run
100%
Description
It turns out that the missing net:eth0 stats are due to an architectural change between crunch1 and crunch2.
In crunch1 these stats were useful for monitoring the I/O bandwidth during the upload phase when arv-put was run in the container to do the upload.
In crunch2, the uploads are done outside the container by the new crunch2 crunch-run component which doesn't log any stats during the upload
Crunch2 needs to provide equivalent stats to Crunch1 during the upload phase. The network bandwidth stats are the most important, but memory and CPU stats would be useful as well.
It would also be useful to have these stats during the Docker image download phase at the beginning of the job.

- Before loading the Docker image, initialize crunchstat reporter using /proc/self/cgroup
- Right before starting the container, start a separate crunchstat reporter for the container
crunch-run stats should be logged to in the same format as crunchstat.txt, but in a separate file.

- begins just before loading the docker image
- ends just after capturing the output directory
- should be interpreted with care -- e.g., usage will include network activity already reported by arv-mount's crunchstat-like logging, container network/cpu/disk activity already reported in crunchstat.txt, network/cpu/disk activity in other containers that happen to be running at the same time, system processes, and so on.

Another improvement (more useful in most cases) would be to put crunch-run, arv-mount, etc. in a separate cgroup, and report stats for that cgroup. I went ahead with hoststat.txt anyway because- it's easy/quick to implement, so we can start looking at stats right away
- even when we do start reporting crunch-run/arv-mount/etc separately, the whole-host stats will continue to be useful: all activity on the host is potentially relevant to performance analysis even if it's not under crunch-run's control.

What's the rationale for using the root cgroup instead of /proc/self/cgroup? In the case where crunch-run doesn't have its own cgroup, they are the same, but in the case where there is a cgroup (using the slurm cgroup plugin) then it will capture stats for crunch-run + arv-mount + the container, but not the whole system. (I suppose "has predictable behavior" is a reasonable rationale).
Otherwise LGTM.

Why did this get changed from a bug to a feature? Isn't it a regression from crunch1 to crunch2?
On the I/O logging front, it appears that the naive interpretation of a "Uploading foo.txt (100 bytes)" followed by "Uploading bar.txt (200 bytes)", ie that the first upload has finished, is (may?) not be true due to parallelization of uploads. If that's the case, we need "Done uploading ..." messages logged too, preferably with elapsed time and/or average throughput.
Since it's only tangentially related, I'll create a new ticket for it.
