ionic: VF initial random MAC address if no assigned mac
Assign a random mac address to the VF interface station address if it boots with a zero mac address in order to match similar behavior seen in other VF drivers. Handle the errors where the older firmware does not allow the VF to set its own station address. Newer firmware will allow the VF to set the station mac address if it hasn't already been set administratively through the PF. Setting it will also be allowed if the VF has trust.
