les, les/lespay/client: add service value statistics and API (#20837)

This PR adds service value measurement statistics to the light client. It
also adds a private API that makes these statistics accessible. A follow-up
PR will add the new server pool which uses these statistics to select
servers with good performance.

This document describes the function of the new components:
