* TotalFoo suggested a comprehensive timing, but TotalEvalTime was part
of the Exec timings, together with Queue timings
* The other option was to rename ExecTotalTime to TotalExecTime, but
there was already ExecQueueTime, suggesting Exec to be some sort of
group
API consumers should be able to get insight into the query run times.
The UI currently measures total roundtrip times. This PR allows for more
fine grained metrics to be exposed.
* adds new timer for total execution time (queue + eval)
* expose new timer, queue timer, and eval timer in stats field of the
range query response:
```json
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"resultType": "matrix",
"result": [],
"stats": {
"execQueueTimeNs": 4683,
"execTotalTimeNs": 2086587,
"totalEvalTimeNs": 2077851
}
}
}
```
* stats field is optional, only set when query parameter `stats` is not
empty
Try it via
```sh
curl 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/query_range?query=up&start=1486480279&end=1486483879&step=14000&stats=true'
```
Review feedback
* moved query stats json generation to query_stats.go
* use seconds for all query timers
* expose all timers available
* Changed ExecTotalTime string representation from Exec queue total time to Exec total time

The main idea is that the user of a storage shouldn't have to deal with
fingerprints anymore, and should not need to do an individual preload
call for each metric. The storage interface needs to be made more
high-level to not expose these details.
This also makes it easier to reuse the same storage interface for remote
storages later, as fewer roundtrips are required and the fingerprint
concept doesn't work well across the network.
NOTE: this deliberately gets rid of a small optimization in the old
query Analyzer, where we dedupe instants and ranges for the same series.
This should have a minor impact, as most queries do not have multiple
selectors loading the same series (and at the same offset).

This remove the last (and in fact bogus) use of BoundaryValues.
Thus, a whole lot of unused (and arguably sub-optimal / ugly) code can
be removed here, too.
