Subject: [PATCH iproute2 v3 3/4] ifstat: Add 64 bits based stats to extended statistics

The default stats for ifstat are 32 bits based.
The kernel supports 64 bits based stats. (They are returned in struct
rtnl_link_stats64 which is an exact copy of struct rtnl_link_stats, in
which the "normal" stats are returned, but with fields of u64 instead of
u32). This patch adds them as an extended stats.

It is read with filter type IFLA_STATS_LINK_64 and no sub type.

It is under the name 64bits
(or any shorten of it as "64")

For example:
ifstat -x 64bit
