Jakub Sitnicki 927992ce4e coverage: Add command for reading counter value.
From: Jakub Sitnicki <jkbs@redhat.com>

Facilitate checking coverage counters from scripts and tests with a new
coverage/read-counter command that gets the total count for a counter.

Same could be achieved by scraping the output of coverage/show command
but the difficulties there are that output is in human readable format
and zero-value counters are not listed.

.SS "COVERAGE COMMANDS"
These commands manage \fB\*(PN\fR's ``coverage counters,'' which count
the number of times particular events occur during a daemon's runtime.
In addition to these commands, \fB\*(PN\fR automatically logs coverage
counter values, at \fBINFO\fR level, when it detects that the daemon's
main loop takes unusually long to run.
.PP
Coverage counters are useful mainly for performance analysis and
debugging.
.IP "\fBcoverage/show\fR"
Displays the averaged per-second rates for the last few seconds, the
last minute and the last hour, and the total counts of all of the
coverage counters.
.IP "\fBcoverage/read-counter\fR \fIcounter\fR"
Displays the total count for the given coverage \fIcounter\fR.
