stats: adding symlinks for nodes and interfaces in the stat segment

A given interface counter (e.g rx) can be accessed via
/interfaces/<interface_name>/<counter_name>.
Same goes with nodes: /nodes/<node_name>/<counter_name>
As interfaces may contain '/' in their names,
these are replaced by '_' in symlinks
Also added 2 tests for the stat segment

Type: feature
