Thanks, applied with some cleanup.

There is no need to store a copy of the 64-bit values from struct
hostap_sta_driver_data, i.e., only the 32-bit lo/hi values are needed to
be able to extend 32-bit driver counters into 64-bit counters. The
64-bit value can be used directly. In addition, these extension
operations can be made conditional on the driver counters actually being
32-bit in length.

It looks cleaner to just print the 64-bit values here since this does
not even try to use the extended version.

I dropped those last two to save 16 bytes per STA entry.

This looks unnecessary complexity, i.e., I replaced the existing
tx/rx_bytes values with 64-bit versions and added an indication if the
driver supports 64-bit counters.

The hostap driver does not provide 64-bit values, i.e., these
rx_bytes64 and tx_bytes64 do not exist. As such, I dropped all changes
to driver_hostap.c.

This is quite a bit clearer with the design I mentioned above, i.e.,
making tx/rx_bytes 64-bit and only exposing a single pair of values from
the driver interface code.
