net: phy: Add support for rate matching

This adds support for rate matching (also known as rate adaptation) to
the phy subsystem. The general idea is that the phy interface runs at
one speed, and the MAC throttles the rate at which it sends packets to
the link speed. There's a good overview of several techniques for
achieving this at [1]. This patch adds support for three: pause-frame
based (such as in Aquantia phys), CRS-based (such as in 10PASS-TS and
2BASE-TL), and open-loop-based (such as in 10GBASE-W).

This patch makes a few assumptions and a few non assumptions about the
types of rate matching available. First, it assumes that different phys
may use different forms of rate matching. Second, it assumes that phys
can use rate matching for any of their supported link speeds (e.g. if a
phy supports 10BASE-T and XGMII, then it can adapt XGMII to 10BASE-T).
Third, it does not assume that all interface modes will use the same
form of rate matching. Fourth, it does not assume that all phy devices
will support rate matching (even if some do). Relaxing or strengthening
these (non-)assumptions could result in a different API. For example, if
all interface modes were assumed to use the same form of rate matching,
then a bitmask of interface modes supportting rate matching would
suffice.

For some better visibility into the process, the current rate matching
mode is exposed as part of the ethtool ksettings. For the moment, only
read access is supported. I'm not sure what userspace might want to
configure yet (disable it altogether, disable just one mode, specify the
mode to use, etc.). For the moment, since only pause-based rate
adaptation support is added in the next few commits, rate matching can
be disabled altogether by adjusting the advertisement.

802.3 calls this feature "rate adaptation" in clause 49 (10GBASE-R) and
"rate matching" in clause 61 (10PASS-TL and 2BASE-TS). Aquantia also calls
this feature "rate adaptation". I chose "rate matching" because it is
shorter, and because Russell doesn't think "adaptation" is correct in this
context.
