rc80211-pid: add debugging 

This adds a new debugfs file from which rate control relevant events can be
read one event per line. The output includes the current time, so graphs can be
created showing the rate control parameters. This helps in evaluating and
tuning rate control parameters. While at it, we split headers and code for
better readability.
