Add a new option '-g'/'--guest' to select a particular process by providing
the QEMU guest name.
Notes:
- The logic to figure out the pid corresponding to the guest name might look
scary, but works pretty reliably in practice; in the unlikely event that it
returns add'l flukes, it will bail out and hint at using '-p' instead, no
harm done.
- Mixing '-g' and '-p' is possible, and the final instance specified on the
command line is the significant one. This is consistent with current
behavior for '-p' which, if specified multiple times, also regards the final
instance as the significant one.

Behavior on empty/0 input for regex and pid filtering was inconsistent, as
the former would keep the current filter, while the latter would (naturally)
remove any pid filtering.
Make things consistent by falling back to the default filter on empty input
for the regex filter dialogue.

Whenever a user adds a filter, we
* redraw the header immediately for a snappy response
* print a message indicating to the user that we're busy while the
noticeable delay induced by updating all of the stats objects takes place
* update the statistics ASAP (i.e. after 0.25s instead of 3s) to be
consistent with behavior on startup
To do so, we split the Tui's refresh() method to allow for drawing header
and stats separately, and trigger a header refresh whenever we are about
to do something that takes a while - like updating filters.

Updating the fields of the TracepointProvider does not propagate changes to the
tracepoints. This shows when a pid filter is enabled, whereby subsequent
extensions of the fields of the Tracepoint provider (e.g. by toggling
drilldown) will not modify the tracepoints as required.
To reproduce, select a specific process via interactive command 'p', and
enable drilldown via 'x' - none of the fields with the braces will appear
although they should.
The fix will always leave all available fields in the TracepointProvider
enabled.
