libxt_statistic: increase precision on create and dump
Currently, libxt_statistic only dumps the probability with a granularity of 1/1000000. Assuming only stuffed packets with 1440 bytes payload, this would match approximately every 1.341 GB, which is pretty low for a high-volume router. Trying to match any larger interval than that (e.g. 2 GB) will cause libxt_statistic to output "--probability 0.000000", and when restored, will cause it to never match again. Bump the dump precision to what xt_statistic can really do, and adjust the manpage to include a word about it. Furthermore, employ explicit rounding when reading the argument from the command line, because the previous implicit conversion would use truncation, which is not very exact.
