docs: net: statistics: fix kernel-internal stats list
Update the kernel-internal ethtool stats list to match current code:
- spell the entries as "struct ethtool_*_stats", not as functions
- list the full set of structures, not only pause and fec
- mention that fields are pre-initialized to ETHTOOL_STAT_NOT_SET by
ethtool_stats_init() and drivers should leave unsupported fields at
that value rather than zeroing them
