net: phylink: re-implement interface configuration with PCS



With PCS support, how we implement interface reconfiguration (or other
major reconfiguration) is not up to the job; we end up reconfiguring
the PCS for an interface change while the link could potentially be up.
In order to solve this, add two additional MAC methods for major
configuration, one to prepare for the change, and one to finish the
change.

This allows mvneta and mvpp2 to shutdown what they require prior to the
MAC and PCS configuration calls, and then restart as appropriate.

This impacts ksettings_set(), which now needs to identify whether the
change is a minor tweak to the advertisement masks or whether the
interface mode has changed, and call the appropriate function for that
update.
