net: ethtool: plumb PHY stats to PHY drivers

Introduce support for standardized PHY statistics reporting in ethtool
by extending the PHYLIB framework. Add the functions
phy_ethtool_get_phy_stats() and phy_ethtool_get_link_ext_stats() to
provide a consistent interface for retrieving PHY-level and
link-specific statistics. These functions are used within the ethtool
implementation to avoid direct access to the phy_device structure
outside of the PHYLIB framework.

A new structure, ethtool_phy_stats, is introduced to standardize PHY
statistics such as packet counts, byte counts, and error counters.
Drivers are updated to include callbacks for retrieving PHY and
link-specific statistics, ensuring values are explicitly set only for
supported fields, initialized with ETHTOOL_STAT_NOT_SET to avoid
ambiguity.
