From: Lev Stipakov <lev@openvpn.net>

There are few issues with it:

 - when using DCO, the server part doesn't output BYTECOUNT_CLI
 since process_incoming_link_part1/process_outgoing_link are not called

 - when using DCO, the server part applies bytecount timer to the each
 connection, unneccessary making too many calls to the kernel and also
 uses incorect BYTECOUNT output.

 - client part outputs counters using timer, server part utilizes
 traffic activity -> inconsistency

Following changes have been made:

 - Use timer to output counters in client and server mode. Code which
 deals with bytecount on traffic activity has been removed. This unifies
 DCO and non-DCO, as well as client and server mode

 - In server mode, peers stats are fetched with the single ioctl call

 - Per-packet stats are not persisted anymore in the client mode during
   traffic activity. Instead cumulative stats (including DCO stats) are
   persisted when the session closes.
