Fix stats API for vpp 22.06

VPP changed the error counters to be simple counters in
https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/vpp/+/35640, that broke goVPP stats extraction.
This was partially fixed by https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/govpp/+/36085,
however this fix didn't make it work completely.

There were some leftover conversions from dirType (== int) to StatType
(== string). Unfortunately the Go compiler does not flag those, they
would however be catched by go vet.

The fixes that are done here makes the stats extraction work for us
partially: We noticed that error counters are now of type symlink and
unfortunately updating a stat dir that contains symlink counters doesn't
work correctly. CopyEntryData, that is called when initializing the dir,
correctly handles the symlink counters. But updateStatOnIndex simply
ignores symlink counters because `dirType != entry.Type` will hold. We
didn't really figure out how to correctly handle this so this would need
to be picked up by someone who is more familiar with the code. For now
we work around this limitation by not using the GetErrorStats API and
instead manually read the dir everytime we want to access error
counters.
