Program net device MAC addresses after initializing
Add a new function to the eth_device struct for programming a network controller's hardware address. After all network devices have been initialized and the proper MAC address for each has been determined, make a device driver call to program the address into the device. Only device instances with valid unicast addresses will be programmed.

The write_hwaddr function should program the MAC address stored in dev->enetaddr

1. Read from hardware in initialize() function

2. Read from environment in net/eth.c after initialize()

3. Give priority to the value in the environment if a conflict

4. Program hardware in the device's init() function.

4. Program the address into hardware if the following conditions are met:
|

a) The relevant driver has a 'write_addr' function

b) The user hasn't set an 'ethmacskip' environment variable

c) The address is valid (unicast, not all-zeros)

in the board-specific board_eth_init() function by calling eth_init()

Previous behavior had the MAC address always being programmed into hardware
