ethtool: add PHY Fast Link Down support

This adds support for Fast Link Down as new PHY tunable. Fast Link Down reduces the time until a link down event is reported for 1000BaseT. According to the standard it's 750ms what is too long for several use cases. v2: - add comment describing the constants
