iw: add support to print link level information in station dump
Currently, the iw station dump displays the overall statistics of
associated MLO (multi-link operation) station. While it provides a
overall summary view, it does not reflect the individual link-level
statistics.
Extend iw to parse and display nested per-link attributes for MLO
station, incorporating recent kernel support for reporting per-link
statistics. This allows users to view detailed statistics for each
link, along with overall statistics which improving visibility and
debugging capabilities for MLO stations.
Sample output:
For MLO client: iw dev wlan0 station dump -v
