    ixgbe: Restore AIM support
    
    AIM (adaptive interrupt moderation) was part of BSD11 driver. Upon IFLIB
    migration, AIM feature got lost. Re-introducing AIM back into IFLIB
    based IXGBE driver.
    
    One caveat is that in BSD11 driver, a queue comprises both Rx and Tx
    ring. Starting from BSD12, Rx and Tx have their own queues and rings.
    Also, IRQ is now only configured for Rx side. So, when AIM is
    re-enabled, we should now consider only Rx stats for configuring EITR
    register in contrast to BSD11 where Rx and Tx stats were considered to
    manipulate EITR register.
