Add seq_puts() statement for dev_mcast, make it more readable.
As also, keep vertical alignment for {dev, ptype, dev_mcast} that
under /proc/net.

FYI, this program got broken by this commit (reverting it restores
functionality):

root@debian:~# ifstat
ifstat: /proc/net/dev: unsupported format.

Confusingly enough, the "ifstat" provided by Debian is not from iproute2:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git/tree/misc/ifstat.c
but rather a similarly named program:
https://packages.debian.org/source/bullseye/ifstat
https://github.com/matttbe/ifstat

I haven't studied how this program parses /proc/net/dev, but here's how
the kernel's output changed:
Ah, it scrapes the text for "Inter-|":
https://github.com/matttbe/ifstat/blob/main/drivers.c#L825
Doesn't work:
