Imagine a host with 4 CPUs and 4 GB of RAM. Imagine a guest with one CPU
and 512 MB of RAM. If it maxes out its resources, it'll show as using
25% CPU and 12.5% of RAM. This is relative to the host, but that's not
really meaningful when you're looking at the guest. Instead, those
numbers should be relative to the guest, so it'd be 100% and 100%. As a
special case, when the startup and maximum RAM are the same, it should
just show the amount (512 MB) because a constant 100% isn't really
useful.

The numbers on the main virt-manager screen (as opposed to on the detail
of a specific host) are harder to define. I can make a case for both
sets of numbers. I would argue that both should be available (in
separate columns), but the relative-to-guest columns should be hidden by
default.

Reproducible: Always

The memory issues are gone in recent virt-manager, since we don't really
show a graph for it anymore (since historically we haven't had _actual_
memory usage statistics from inside the guest, so it wasn't all that
useful to show a graph here).

The CPU issue is tracked in other bugs, so closing as a dup
