Description
To aid debugging, we'd like to collect netstat-style data from each IP stack on the entire Gimlet to ClickHouse via oximeter. This could use the kernel interfaces in inet/mib2.h, look at the implementation of netstat itself for examples. Similar to the datalink metrics, the sled-agent needs to do this since it has visibility into everything.

Research direction
Start by reading the sled-agent metrics implementation, especially the existing datalink metrics, then inspect the kernel interfaces in inet/mib2.h and the netstat implementation for per-IP-stack data. The work is done when netstat-style metrics from each IP stack on the Gimlet are published through oximeter to ClickHouse; no specific test is named in the issue.
