Interface Metrics

Collect kernel rx_packets, tx_packets, rx_bytes, tx_bytes, rx_errors,
tx_errors, rx_dropped, tx_dropped metrics of the interfaces
Stateless-lb collects the metrics for the interfaces being created via
NSM. A new chain element has been implemented to watch/unwatch
interfaces based on their name.
Frontend collects the metrics of the interface that is passed as
environemnt variable.
