[f-nsp] Poll traffic stats from a VE

There is a command in the SuperX (same as FESX) code 3.2.00 or later
that turns on ve statistics. I believe it is something similar to:
enable snmp ve-statistics

There are some heavy limitations though:

* The Foundry device counts traffic from all virtual interfaces (VEs).
For example, in a configuration with two
VLANs (VLAN 1 and VLAN 20) on port 1, when traffic is sent on VLAN 1,
the counters (VE statistics) increase
for both VE 1 and VE 20.
* The counters include all traffic on each virtual interface, even if
the virtual interface is disabled.
* The counters include traffic that is denied by ACLs or MAC filters.
Note that the above CLI command enables SNMP to display virtual
interface statistics. It does not enable the CLI
or Web Management Interface to display the statistics.
