Add hardware-level utilization information for PCIE cards

Copied from old SHARE Requirements system SSSHARE012857: Voting Priority=2.9

+4=2 +3=4 +2=9 +1=6 abstain=2 Priority=2.1 (Please ignore the other vote of 0.0)

Currently, the RMF PCIE XML report provides information about the use of a PCIE card for THIS LPAR. However, if a capacity planner wants to know whether additional capacity is required, they would have to extract the RMF data from every LPAR using that card. It would be much nicer if RMF could show the utilization at the card level, just as the RMF CPU report shows utilization both for each LPAR AND at the CEC level.
