Description
Are we still using the list of connected processes and their VT statistics? If not, we can declutter our lives and remove a potential source of community consternation.

Research direction
Start at src/host/telemetry.cpp around line 287 and trace the connected-process list and its VT statistics through the conhost telemetry code. Check whether those values are still consumed elsewhere. Done means determining their current use and, if unused, removing the collection without leaving telemetry references behind.
