net: Introduce new feature setting ops

Browse Source 
This introduces a new framework to handle device features setting.
It consists of:
  - new fields in struct net_device:
	+ hw_features - features that hw/driver supports toggling
	+ wanted_features - features that user wants enabled, when possible
  - new netdev_ops:
	+ feat = ndo_fix_features(dev, feat) - API checking constraints for
		enabling features or their combinations
	+ ndo_set_features(dev) - API updating hardware state to match
		changed dev->features
  - new ethtool commands:
	+ ETHTOOL_GFEATURES/ETHTOOL_SFEATURES: get/set dev->wanted_features
		and trigger device reconfiguration if resulting dev->features
		changed
	+ ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS(ETH_SS_FEATURES): get feature bits names (meaning)
