batman-adv: Add get_ethtool_stats() support
Added additional counters in a bat_stats structure, which are exported through the ethtool api. The counters are specific to batman-adv and includes: forwarded packets and bytes management packets and bytes (aggregated OGMs at this point) translation table packets New counters are added by extending "enum bat_counters" in types.h and adding corresponding descriptive string(s) to bat_counters_strings in soft-iface.c. Counters are increased by calling batadv_add_counter() and incremented by one by calling batadv_inc_counter().
