Aryaman Gupta 45f1e9d953 pybootchartgui: render cpu and io pressure
Add two new, separate charts showing the avg10 and delta
total pressure over time for the CPU and IO resources. The height of
the avg10 data in each chart represents the percentage of time "some"
task was delayed over the specific resource during the last 10
seconds of the build. The height of the delta total data in each chart
represents the total time "some" task was delayed since the last sample
was collected. If the reduced_proc_pressure data is not present in the
buildstats log, then the new charts are not shown at all rather than
being present but unpopulated.

Note that the delta total graphs may appear "spikey",
oscillating from high values to low. This behaviour is fixed in a
subsequent commit.

			    PYBOOTCHARTGUI
			   ----------------

pybootchartgui is a tool (now included as part of bootchart2) for
visualization and analysis of the GNU/Linux boot process. It renders
the output of the boot-logger tool bootchart (see
http://www.bootchart.org/) to either the screen or files of various
formats. Bootchart collects information about the processes, their
dependencies, and resource consumption during boot of a GNU/Linux
system. The pybootchartgui tools visualizes the process tree and
overall resource utilization.

pybootchartgui is a port of the visualization part of bootchart from
Java to Python and Cairo.

Adapted from the bootchart-documentation:

  The CPU and disk statistics are used to render stacked area and line
  charts. The process information is used to create a Gantt chart
  showing process dependency, states and CPU usage.

  A typical boot sequence consists of several hundred processes. Since
  it is difficult to visualize such amount of data in a comprehensible
  way, tree pruning is utilized. Idle background processes and
  short-lived processes are removed. Similar processes running in
  parallel are also merged together.

  Finally, the performance and dependency charts are rendered as a
  single image to either the screen or in PNG, PDF or SVG format.
