Bug Description

when checking the speed via juju status, magpie will currently show the most recent speed check for a given machine, when it would be more helpful to instead include some kind of statistical analysis. I think as a first attempt, max/min/average would be helpful, to help identify but account for outliers.

Our use case is basically having magpie identify:
* a baseline of best-case-scenario networking performance
* outliers, which can be a symptom of a misconfiguration

Having the current speed in the juju status output is not wrong, but at the moment the only way to provide the above is having a human visually watch the juju status output.

I think a 'report' action showing min/max/avg as Garrett mentioned would make reviewing a cloud a lot easier.

The magpie charm supports a prometheus-target endpoint which should be used instead of adding this to the charm as that's a better place to have such data captured so you can see the details.
