net-sysfs: expose number of carrier on/off changes

This allows to monitor carrier on/off transitions and detect link
flapping issues:
 - new /sys/class/net/X/carrier_changes
 - new rtnetlink IFLA_CARRIER_CHANGES (getlink)

Tested:
  - grep . /sys/class/net/*/carrier_changes
    + ip link set dev X down/up
    + plug/unplug cable
  - updated iproute2: prints IFLA_CARRIER_CHANGES
  - iproute2 20121211-2 (debian): unchanged behavior
