Either option seems ok, I don't have a strong preference, the main thing
here is to get the info for all cores in our telemetry read.

While all of the information would be available, there are performance
benefits to reducing the size of data returned and by flattening the
arrays, in addition to a reduction in the JSON parsing required to
extract the needed metrics.
The additional endpoint(s) (I like Morten's idea of a single additional
endpoint where you can specify the metrics to include via parameters)
shouldn't affect the format of other parts of this patchset, but we
would gain the benefits of the additional metric format.
