Add a small primitive that records, per automaton edge, how long the
monitor dwelled before taking it with a count, a sum and a maximum.

The counters are per-CPU and lock-free, so a monitor's hot path can update
them without disabling interrupts and without perturbing the very latency
being measured.

Any reason why you don't use include/rv/edge_stat.h ?

No good reason. You're right. Happy to move it in a V2.

Best,
Tobias

You wouldn't need to touch the maintainers file and could just

#include <rv/edge_stat.h>

Thanks,
Gabriele
