be3b878443 Track method call times/counts as a single metric
Previously we'd create a separate Metric instance for every method call
that would exceed the method call threshold. This is problematic because
it doesn't provide us with information to accurately get the _total_
execution time of a particular method. For example, if the method
"Foo#bar" was called 4 times with a runtime of ~10 milliseconds we'd end
up with 4 different Metric instances. If we were to then get the
average/95th percentile/etc of the timings this would be roughly 10
milliseconds. However, the _actual_ total time spent in this method
would be around 40 milliseconds.

To solve this problem we now create a single Metric instance per method.
This Metric instance contains the _total_ real/CPU time and the call
count for every instrumented method.

dadc531353 Instrument private/protected methods
By default instrumentation will instrument public,
protected and private methods, because usually
heavy work is done on private method or at least
that’s what facts is showing

Store block timings as transaction values
This makes it easier to query, simplifies the code, and makes it
possible to figure out what transaction the data belongs to (simply
because it's now stored _in_ the transaction).

This new setup keeps track of both the real/wall time _and_ CPU time
spent in a block, both measured using milliseconds (to keep all units
the same).
