3e55b3da30 MEDIUM: promex/stick-table: Dump stick-table metrics via a promex module
Create a promex module to dump stick-table metrics. Thanks to this patch,
all references to stick tables were removed from the promex service.

5f875414eb MEDIUM: promex: Dump metrics of registered modules with a way to filter them
This patch adds a dump loop on the registered modules. It is very similar to
other dump loops. When a module registered, a implicit scope is created with
the module's name. It means a module name must be unique. It also means,
metrics dump of modules can be filtered via the "scope" parameter.

eb2128723a MEDIUM: promex: Add a registration mechanism to support modules
In this patch we add a registration mechanism for modules. To do so, a
module must defined the "promex_module" structure. The dump itself will be
based on 2 contexts. One for all the dump and another one for each metric
time-series. These contexts are used as restart points when the dump is
interrupted.

Modules must also implement 6 callback functions:

  * start_metric_dump(): It is an optional callback function. If defined, it
                         is responsible to initialize the dump context use
                         as the first restart point.

  * stop_metric_dump(): It is an optional callback function. If defined, it
                        is responsible to deinit the dump context.

  * metric_info(): This one is mandatory. It returns the info about the
                   metric: name, type and flags and descrition.

  * start_ts(): This one is mandatory, it initializes the context for a time
                series for a given metric. This context is the second
                restart point.

  * next_ts(): This one is mandatory. It interates on time series for a
               given metrics. It is also responsible to handle end of a
               time series and deinit the context.

  * fill_ts(): It fills info on the time series for a given metric : the
               labels and the value.

In addition, a module must set its name and declare the number of metrics is
exposed.
