The current extended ethernet statistics fetching involve doing several
string operations, which causes performance issues if there are lots of
statistics and/or network interfaces. This patch changes the xstats
functions to instead use a numeric identifier rather than a string, and
adds the ability to retrieve identifier-to-string mappings.

Update the strings used for presenting stats to adhere
to the scheme previously presented. Updated xstats_get()
function to handle Q information only if xstats() is not
implemented in the PMD, providing the PMD with the needed
flexibility to expose its extended Q stats.
Add extended statistic section to the programmers
guide, poll mode driver section. This section describes
how the strings stats are formatted, and how the client
code can use this to gather information about the stat.
