Users may need information about the expected throughput towards a given peer computed by the RC algorithm. Export such value through the get_station() API.
This information is useful to the batman-adv module which will use it for its new metric computation.

It would be nice to comment on what the units are. I known from our BATMAN V discussions, it is something odd.
