netdev: reshuffle netif_napi_add() APIs to allow dropping weight



Most drivers should not have to worry about selecting the right
weight for their NAPI instances and pass NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT.
It'd be best if we didn't require the argument at all and selected
the default internally.

This change prepares the ground for such reshuffling, allowing
for a smooth transition. The following API should remain after
the next release cycle:
  netif_napi_add()
  netif_napi_add_weight()
  netif_napi_add_tx()
  netif_napi_add_tx_weight()
Where the _weight() variants take an explicit weight argument.
I opted for a _weight() suffix rather than a __ prefix, because
we use __ in places to mean that caller needs to also issue a
synchronize_net() call.
