Get client side available MCP counters/interfaces to ensure that only valid interfaces can be selected #2

Currently, the clients have a whitelist for which counters are allowed: https://github.com/nsg-ethz/autopower/blob/8c40c9d66958f3a008e80ac1d7589f2eb8fe1859/client/config/client_config.json.example#L8 this is to prevent wrong inputs and unavailable interfaces on the client side. It would be good if:

The server could receive available counters e.g. via a new gRPC message
Restrict the user input already on the available counters
In future, we could call pinpoint -l directly and parse the available counters
