Comment:
The only place these statistics are used is at the end of `dumpstats(int
severity)` where `dump_pk_ops()` is called after getting a SIGUSR1 signal
(but only if `severity < LOG_INFO`). You're both right that these
statistics seem a bit useless, because this info is kind of weird info to
keep around, i.e. I'm not sure why we'd want to know how many times we did
TLS or how many signatures we verified. (More seemingly useful info about
public key operations would be higher-level, e.g. routers we're talking to
for which some crypto operation has an anomalous failure rate.)
