Users may need information about the expected throughput
towards a given peer.
This value is supposed to consider the size overhead
generated by the 802.11 header.

Export such value in kbps through the get_station() API
(by including it into the station_info object).

This information will be useful to the batman-adv module
which will use it for its new metric computation.
