meson build script was building each rust sub-project under rust/ and
scheds/rust/ separately. This means that each rust project is built
independently which leads to a couple problems - 1. There are a lot of
shared dependencies but they have to be built over and over again for each
proejct. 2. Concurrency management becomes sad - we either have to unleash
multiple cargo builds at the same time possibly thrashing the system or
build one by one.
We've been trying to solve this from meson side in vain. Thankfully, in
issue #546, @vimproved suggested using cargo workspace which makes the
sub-projects share the same target directory and built together by the same
cargo instance while still allowing each project to behave independently for
development and publishing purposes.
Make the following changes:
- Create two cargo workspaces - one under rust/, the other under
scheds/rust/. Each contains all rust projects underneath it.
- Don't let meson descend into rust/. These are libraries used by the rust
schedulers. No need to build them from meson. Cargo will build them as
needed.
- Change the rust_scheds build target to invoke `cargo build` in
scheds/rust/ and let cargo do its thing.
- Remove per-scheduler meson.build files and instead generate custom_targets
in scheds/rust/meson.build which invokes `cargo build -p $SCHED`.
- This changes rust binary directory. Update README and
meson-scripts/install_rust_user_scheds accordingly.
- Remove per-scheduler Cargo.lock as scheds/rust/Cargo.lock is shared by all
schedulers now.
- Unify .gitignore handling.

Let's make it a bit easier to use:
- Shorten exported names by changing the prefix from ScxStats to Stats. This
should be distinctive enough and more inline with how most libraries name
their exports.
- Importing the right set of traits can be tricky. Introduce prelude module
so that importing is a bit less painful.
And move related ops into it. This is a bit more natural and will also allow
doing other operaitons (e.g. describing stats) without launching the server.
OM labels() was called with an array which is then incorrectly interpreted
as a single label. Unpack it to list of arguments. While at it, make error
reporting a bit more robust.
open_ops tracks which ops have been opened by the client session; however,
it was being created on each handle_request() making every request to open
each time. Fix it by moving it to the caller.
- Allow no-value user attributes which are automatically assigned "true"
when specified.
- Make "top" attribute string "true" instead of bool true for consistency.
Testing for existence is always enough for value-less attributes.
- Don't drop leading "_" from user attribute names when storing in dicts.
Dropping makes things more confusing.
- Add "_om_skip" to scx_layered fields which don't jive well with OM.
scxstats_to_openmetrics.py is updated accordignly and no longer generates
warnings on those fields.
- Examples and README updated accordingly.
This is a generic tool to pipe from scx_stats to OpenMetrics. This is a
barebone implmentation and the current output may not match what scx_layered
was outputting before. Will be updated later.
