net: ethtool: add support for structured PHY statistics
Introduce a new way to report PHY statistics in a structured and
standardized format using the netlink API. This new method does not
replace the old driver-specific stats, which can still be accessed with
`ethtool -S <eth name>`. The structured stats are available with
`ethtool -S <eth name> --all-groups`.
This new method makes it easier to diagnose problems by organizing stats
in a consistent and documented way.
