Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) e1a56368ea selftests: mptcp: lib: dump nstat for the right test
In case of errors, mptcp_lib_pr_nstat is called to dump the nstat
counters, but for some tests, it was dumping the counters for all
subtests, not just the current one.

That's an issue for tests that don't recreate the netns for each
subtest, e.g. mptcp_connect.sh. In this case, 'nstat -a' will look at
the absolute counters since the creation of the netns, making
debugging harder.

Instead, it should dump the counters for the current test, by using the
history recorded in /tmp/<ns>.nstat if available, and not using '-a'
which was dumping the absolute values instead of calculating increments.

While at it, rename the previous 'hist' variable to 'cache' as it was
used to look at the cache, not the nstat history.
