this fixes Debian Bug #109164 (netstat -ci does only print stats once). It

also renames add_interface and free_interface list to if_cache_add/free.
I am not sure if removing the "proc_read" flag will harm performance, looks
likt this check is never triggereed. Anyway, we need more efficient b-search
sooner or later.
