[PATCHv3 7/9] libnvme: add support for namespace diagnostic counters

Add support for retrieving namespace diagnostic counters such as
command_retry_count and command_error_count. These counters improve
visibility and can be useful for tools such as nvme-top to display
real-time statistics.
Unlike other sysfs attributes, these counters can change dynamically.
Annotate them with "!accessors:none" and provide custom implementations
to always retrieve the latest (non-cached) values.
