[SR-Users] Monitoring Dispatcher

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

I thought of looking briefly at the code to see what involves and
actually the counter with active calls per destination was there. It
needed only to print it in the rpc output.

One more remark came in my mind: just cherry picking the patch into an
older version may fail, because dispatcher got latency-based routing
support and that code affected the rpc code as well. If you want to just
try it, might be better to just test with master. The effective patch
itself should be a bit smaller, as I did some formatting to have more
suggestive attribute-name: attribute-value code formatting.

Cheers,
Daniel
