This allows printing reporters in the exact order as they were configired.

Change the functionality of skipping unchanged values: instead of
looking up whether new values have been set on a stat item, rather
remember the last reported value and skip reporting identical values.
stats_test.c shows that previously, a stat item reported a value of 10
again, even though the previous report had already sent a value of 10.
That's just because the value 10 was explicitly set again, internally.
From a perspective of preserving all data points, it could make sense to
send consecutive identical values. But since we already collapse all
data points per reporting period into a max, that is pointless.

Intead of attempting to store all distinct values of a reporting period,
just store min, max, last as well as a sum and N of each reporting
period.
This gets rid of error messages like
DLSTATS ERROR stat_item.c:285 num_bts:oml_connected: 44 stats values skipped
while at the same time more accurately reporting the max value for each
reporting period. (So far stats_item only reports the max value; keep
that part unchanged, as shown in stats_test.c.)
With the other so far unused values (min, sum), we are ready to also
report the minimum value as well as an average value per reporting
period in the future, if/when our stats reporter allows for it.
Store the complete record of the previous reporting period. So far we
only compare the 'max' value, but like this we are ready to also see
changes in min, last and average value between reporting periods.
This patch breaks API by removing:
- struct members osmo_stats_item.stats_next_id, .last_offs and .values[]
- struct osmo_stats_item_value
- osmo_stat_item_get_next()
- osmo_stat_item_discard()
- osmo_stat_item_discard_all()
and by making struct osmo_stats_item opaque.
In libosmocore, we do have a policy of never breaking API. But since the
above should never be accessed by users of the osmo_stats_item API -- or
if they are, would no longer yield useful results, we decided to make an
exception in this case. The alternative would be to introduce a new
osmo_stats_item2 API and maintaining an unused legacy osmo_stats_item
forever, but we decided that the effort is not worth it. There are no
known users of the removed items.

Instead of just a send_count, keep one such count for the counter
updates, and a separate one for the stat item updates.
Print those numbers in the test output.
An upcoming patch will tweak stat_item reporting so that only an
actually changed value results in sending a new stat value. This patch
allows illustrating that change clearly.

Background:
* Individual values can be added to osmo_stat_item.values at any time.
* Stats are reported at a fixed interval (see vty 'stats interval'),
e.g. every 10 seconds.
* In order to report a new stat value, we use the maximum of all
osmo_stat_item.values added since the last report.
* By default, we do not send new stat values if they did not change
(see vty 'config-stats' -> 'flush-period' default of 0).
Fix the following bug:
* If 'flush-period' is 0, and no new osmo_stat_item.values are coming
in, the last value that gets reported is not necessarily the last
entry in osmo_stat_item.values.
* For attached reporters (statsd), it could then be that the given stat
stays at the wrong value for a long stretch of time (think of several
hours/days/forever).
Explanation of how the test shows that it is fixed:
* stats get reported (value is irrelevant)
* osmo_stat_item gets a new value: 20
* osmo_stat_item gets a new value: 10
* stats get reported (value: 20, the maximum of both new values)
* osmo_stat_item gets no new values
* stats get reported (value: 10, this is new because of the bug fix,
the real last value in osmo_stat_item, different from the 20 sent
earlier, without the fix it would not send anything here and the last
sent value would be 20)
* osmo_stat_item gets no new values
* stats get reported (nothing gets sent, since the real last value was
already sent and 'flush-period' is 0)

Extend the test to illustrate the bug described in the related issue,
which will be fixed with the next patch.

This reverts commit d290439b4afe928e7e341540cb92f1abf36a82cb, which
caused "stats values skipped" messages to appear even if they were not
skipped. Revert for now, replace with a proper version in the future.

Let the user know when the stats were not consumed fast enough for the
given FIFO length.

Move test output from stdout to stderr and enable logging to stderr.
This is in preparation for the next patch, which will add a new log
message when osmo_stat_item_get_next() skips a value.
