Description

Description of the issue

To facilitate breakdown graphs (#70), agents should track metrics for the self-time of spans grouped by their span.type, as well as the duration for the transactions.

Example documents:

{
  "metricset": {
    "timestamp": 1555603735414000,
    "transaction": {
      "name": "test transaction",
      "type": "request"
    },
    "span": {
      "type": "db",
      "subtype": "mysql"
    },
    "samples": {
      "span.self_time.count": { "value": 100 },
      "span.self_time.sum.us":   { "value": 100000 }
    }
  }
}
{
  "metricset": {
    "timestamp": 1555603735414000,
    "transaction": {
      "name": "test transaction",
      "type": "request"
    },
    "span": {
      "type": "app"
    },
    "samples": {
      "span.self_time.count": { "value": 10 },
      "span.self_time.sum.us":   { "value": 200000 }
    }
  }
}
{
  "metricset": {
    "timestamp": 1555603735414000,
    "transaction": {
      "name": "test transaction",
      "type": "request"
    },
    "samples": {
      "transaction.duration.count":  { "value": 10 },
      "transaction.duration.sum.us":    { "value": 300000 },
      "transaction.breakdown.count": { "value": 10 },
    }
  }
}
