Add new NH statistic class CircllhistStatistic and SinkableCircllhist… (

envoyproxy#391)

Add new NH statistic class CircllhistStatistic and SinkableCircllhistStatistic.

CircllhistStatistic uses Circllhist under the hood to compute statistics where Circllhist is used in the implementation of Envoy Histograms. Compared to HdrHistogram Circllhist trades precision for fast performance in merge and insertion according to envoyproxy#115.

SinkableCircllhistStatistic wraps the Envoy::Stats::Histogram interface and is used to flush histogram value to downstream Envoy stats Sinks.

Linked Issues: envoyproxy#344

Testing: unit tests
