  telemetry has support for fetching port based stats
from metrics library.

Metrics library also has global stats which are
not fetched by telemetry, so extend telemetry to
fetch the global metrics.

I see some errors with GCC:

rte_telemetry_parser.c:362:27: error: unused variable ‘p’

rte_telemetry.c:550:11: error: unused variable ‘i’

rte_telemetry.c:613:16: error: comparison of integer expressions of different signedness: ‘int’ and ‘uint32_t’

Hmm, yes these have to be fixed, strange they were not caught on my board with  gcc (GCC) 9.0.1 20190312 (Red Hat 9.0.1-0.10)

Will fix and send v2.

Thanks,
Reshma

GCC 8.3

Given the type of the errors I think it should be visible
with older versions.
