We really don't want boards defining fixed MAC addresses in their config
so we just remove the option to set it in a fixed way. If you must have
a MAC address that was not provisioned, then use the random MAC address
functionality.

Implement the random ethaddr fallback in eth.c so it is in a common
place and not reimplemented in each board or driver that wants this
behavior.

Use "_ethaddr" at the end of variables and drop CamelCase.
Make constant values actually 'const'.

If the net driver has setup a valid ethernet address and an ethernet
address is not set in the environment already, then set the environment
variables from the net driver setting.
This enables pxe booting on boards which don't set ethaddr env variable.

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.

As this seems unclear, document how the flow of setting up
the MAC address is correct.
