Fixes: #38403
Adding NET_DRIVERS menuconfig so that network drivers are grouped
together in its own menu entry under drivers, similar to most other
drivers.
This further has the advantages that `CONFIG_NET_DRIVERS` can be used
for testing to determine if network drivers has been selected.
This changed revealed a dependency loop where both `select` (for SLIP)
and `depends` (for PPP) which both depends on NET_DRIVERS` where in use
in the dependency tree for Qemu networking, especially NET_SLIP_TAP.
This is handled by defaulting `NET_DRIVERS` to `y` when building for a
Qemu target.
`SLIP` had a dependency to `!QEMU_TARGET || NET_QEMU_SLIP`. This is
changed so that SLIP prompt depends on `!QEMU_TARGET` which provides
full user control in hardware but makes the symbol promptless on Qemu
targets.

This commit adds support for Ethernet PHY drivers via a PHY API.
It also includes a driver for a generic MII compliant PHY
which supports most PHYs on the market.
Separating PHY driver from the SoC specific Ethernet driver
simplifies the Ethernet driver code and enables code re-use.
Drivers for specific PHYs with more advanced features, such as
RGMII delay in PHY can be developed independent of the Ethernet
MAC driver.
