note: the same route also gets called when using the WebGUI and a set of
the values that get returned are displayed on the "Node > Status" page.
What I have seen, the added data size is very negligible.

nit: Minor note, but there shouldn't be a space between the function's
name and its parameter list [0].

nit: I think this could be placed rather nicely at
`$res->{uptime_ticks}`, like `$res->{uptime}`, to make `cpustat` a
little more consistent with `PVE::ProcFSTools::read_proc_stat()` and

Is there something that is holding us back to move this directly into
`PVE::ProcFSTools::read_proc_stat()`?
As far as I can tell, the output of `PVE::ProcFSTools::read_proc_stat()`
is used at these locations:
- the PVE `/nodes/{node}/status` API endpoint of course, which only uses
the values of `cpu` and `wait` at the moment
- `PMG::API2::Nodes`: also only uses the values of `cpu` and `wait`
- the PMG `/nodes/{node}/status` API endpoint, which also only uses the
values of `cpu` and `wait`
- `PVE::Service::pvestatd::update_node_status`: retrieve the current
node status and then update them for rrd via `broadcast_rrd` (uses only
the values of `cpu` and `wait` selectively) and external metric servers
The first three and a half (speaking of `broadcast_rrd` in the latter)
look fine to me, but we should take a closer look how external metric
servers will handle the added data, especially for existing
queries/dashboards. It could also be a name collision, as 'cpustat' is
also used for the data that gets sent to the metric servers.
In my opinion, I think it would be a worthwhile feature to add the
properties for external metric servers (either as part of this or a
future patch series).

It would also be very beneficial if the added data properties that are
returned here are documented in the 'returns' JSONSchema, so that they
can be easily understood by other users as well (especially in which
unit those raw values are so that it's easier to know how they would
need to get converted).

Otherwise, this works just as intended when querying the API endpoint
`/nodes/{node}/status` via curl and pvesh.
