Should we somehow call it "MAC stats"?

Right now its named like a generic attribute, but it's not part of 
the header nest (ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_*).

I'm not sure myself which way is better, but feels like either it
should be generic, in the header nest, and parsed by the common code;
or named more specifically and stay in the per-cmd attrs.
