Many copper Ethernet PHY have support for performing diagnostics of
the cable. Are the cable shorted, broken, not plugged into anything at
the other end? And they can report roughly how far along the cable any
fault is.

Add infrastructure in ethtool and phylib support for triggering a
cable test and reporting the results. The Marvell 1G PHY driver is
then extended to make use of this infrastructure.

For testing, a modified ethtool(1) can be found here:
https://github.com/lunn/ethtool.git feature/cable-test-v2. This also
contains extra code for TDR dump, which will be added to the kernel in
a later patch series.

Thanks to Chris Healy for extensive testing.

v2:
See individual patches but:

Remove _REPLY messages
Change length into a u32
Grammar fixes
Rename functions for consistency
Extack for cable test already running
Remove ethnl_cable_test_act_ops
Add status attributes
Rename pairs from numbers to letters
