collectd: interface plugin: revert to Linux defaults from BSD-like operations

Change the interface plugin to operate with collectd's default way for Linux
instead of trying to use BSD functionality with patches.

Openwrt's collectd Makefile has set "enable-getifaddrs" option since r7980
(in 2007, no explanations given for the reasons to add that config option),
causing the addition of 110-net-device-stats.patch in 2010 to fix things,
and then later (with 5.4.1 upgrade in 2014) 150-fix-interface-af-link
to undo BSD-specific changes in collectd code meant for only BSD systems
(as AF_LINK does not exist in Linux).

Revert to collectd's intended way in Linux by removing the config option
and deleting the two corresponding patches.

The same data fieds should be provided, so there is no visbile change to users.
