Per CPU times percentage

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Proposal
A function similar to psutil.cpu_percent() but which provides utilization 
percentages for each specific CPU time (user, system, idle, etc.), as per:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/psutil/3u9Ylt-zHMA

On what platforms would this be available?
All

Proposed API

synopsis: cpu_times_percent(interval=0.1, percpu=False)

>>> import psutil
>>> psutil.cpu_times_percent()
cpupercent(user=4.8, nice=0.0, system=4.8, idle=90.5, iowait=0.0, irq=0.0, 
softirq=0.0, steal=0.0, guest=0.0, guest_nice=0.0)

'interval' and 'percpu' arguments have the same meaning as in 
psutil.cpu_percent()
