Unlike the status info scripts, these include support for setting host and database parameters via command line options. Still to be added is support for HTTPS/SSL.
Add a get_id function to the grpc parser module, so it can be used for tagging purposes.
Minor cleanups in some of the other scripts to make them consistent with the newly added scripts.
Move the "samples" stat out of the ping drop group of stats and into a new general stats group.
This way, it will make more sense if/when additional stat groups are added, since that stat will apply to all of them.
Moves the parsing logic that will be shared by some upcoming scripts out into a separate module.
There's still just as much duplication between the JSON parser and the grpc parser as there was before, but this should at least prevent further duplication of this logic.
This also adds some proper documentation for what each of the stats means.
Doesn't ever seem to happen, but in case it does in the future, treat that case as just unscheduled. This way, the unclassified ping loss (AKA "Beta downtime") can be computed from the totals.
