ADR 0025: Server Statistics Architecture

The Ooloi server must of course also have comprehensive introspective statistics, as it can be deployed in several ways and has a structure which is perhaps a bit unusual. The combination of STM-wrapped gRPC API calls with server-to-client event streaming creates some operational challenges: things like per-client queue overflow behaviour and collaborative editing session patterns.

Hence this new ADR on server statistics, which takes a two-level approach: server-wide aggregates that survive client churn, plus detailed per-client metrics for operational visibility. Oh, and it interfaces with Grafana, Prometheus, and friends straight out of the box via simple HTTP endpoints.

Halfway through the stats implementation now. It's been a productive weekend.
