v4.2 Shell / Host mode, More stable cluster runs

Winter is coming, and also a feature drop is coming ;)

Under the hood we have made GMT even more reliable by introducing throttling checks and guards.

Also performance has gotten a big bump by reducing DB roundtrips and making most statistics now in Python directly.

In terms of direct user facing features we now have a host mode where GMT can measure directly on the machine without the need to orchestrate or interface without any containers.
In the usage scenario you just specify that the command shall run on the host system. You can then interact with any process you have running and get system level metrics
