net: Make it easier to parse /proc/net/dev contents.
The contents of /proc/net/dev is annoying to parse, because it changes whether there is a space after the "ethX:" or not. It depends upon the size of the "Receive bytes" counter, if the number is below 7 digits, then there is whitespaces else if the number is 8 digits or above there is no space between the ":" and the number. This patch changes the output to assure there is always a space between the ":" and the number. Given that all existing userspace application already need to handle the whitespaces, I see no breakage of existing tools.
