i40e: add function doc headers for ethtool stats functions 

Add documentation for the i40e_get_stats_count, i40e_get_stat_strings
and i40e_get_ethtool_stats explaining that the number and ordering of
statistics must remain constant for a given netdevice.

* anyways, always return its string, and report its value as zero.
