ibmonitor v1.0, an interactive bandwidth monitor

ibmonitor is an interactive linux console application which shows bandwidth consumed and total data transferred on all interfaces.

Changes:
# Command line option "--dev regex" added.
Patch supplied by Kanedaaa <borys@bohater.org>
So only interfaces which match the regex supplied will
be displayed.
# Command line option "--file proc" added.
This allows to specify a different /proc file, other
than the default, which is "/proc/net/dev"
# Added Term-Readkey Perl module in distribution.
# Average Data was incorrect, when interval was more than 1 second. Fixed.
# All output is written to a variable, instead of STDOUT.
# Reset(key r while in interactive mode) is now resetting elapsed time.
# Choice to move interface display up/down relative to other interface
# If Term-ReadKey Perl module is not found, then interactive mode is disabled
