      Resolve "Client: Support MessagePack for process bandwidth monitoring"
      
      GekkoFS clients support capturing the I/O traces of each individual process and periodically exporting them to a given
      file or ZeroMQ sink via the TCP protocol.
      To use this feature, the corresponding ZeroMQ (`libzmq` and `cppzmq`) dependencies are required which can be found in
      the `default_zmq` dependency profile.
      In addition, GekkoFS must be compiled with client metrics enabled (disabled by default) via the CMake argument
      `-DGKFS_ENABLE_CLIENT_METRICS=ON`.
      
      Client metrics are individually enabled per GekkoFS client process via the following environment variables:
      
      - `LIBGKFS_ENABLE_METRICS=ON` enables capturing client-side metrics.
      - `LIBGKFS_METRICS_FLUSH_INTERVAL=10` sets the flush interval to 10 seconds (defaults to 5). All outstanding client
        metrics are flushed when the process ends.
      - `LIBGKFS_METRICS_PATH=<path>` sets the path to flush client-metrics (defaults to `/tmp/gkfs_client_metrics`).
      - `LIBGKFS_METRICS_IP_PORT=127.0.0.1:5555` enables flushing to a set ZeroMQ server. This option disables flushing to a
        file.
      
      The ZeroMQ export can be tested via the `gkfs_clientmetrics2json` application which is built when enabling the CMake
      option `-DGKFS_BUILD_TOOLS=ON`:
      
      - Starting the ZeroMQ server: `gkfs_clientmetrics2json tcp://127.0.0.1:5555`
      - `gkfs_clientmetrics2json <path>` can also be used to unpack the Messagepack export from a file.
        Examplarily output with the ZeroMQ sink enabled when running:
        `LD_PRELOAD=libgkfs_intercept.so LIBGKFS_ENABLE_METRICS=ON LIBGKFS_METRICS_IP_PORT=127.0.0.1:5555 gkfs cp testfile /tmp/gkfs_mountdir/testfile`:
      
      ```bash
      ~ $ gkfs_clientmetrics2json tcp://127.0.0.1:5555
      Binding to: tcp://127.0.0.1:5555
