net: phy: Support overriding Auto Negotiation timeout with env variable

The Auto Negotiation procedure between two Ethernet PHYs consists of
determining the best commonly supported parameters among Speed,
Duplex Mode and Flow Control.

The time taken for this procedure is not only dependent on the local
PHY used, but also on the link-partner PHY.

While a timeout can be specified in the form of a "CONFIG" on the basis
of the local PHY present on the device, since the timeout also depends
on the link-partner PHY, it might be necessary to modify the timeout.

To avoid rebuilding the bootloader for a given device, just because it
may be connected to various link-partner PHYs, each with a different
timeout, introduce an environment variable named "phy_aneg_timeout" and
override "CONFIG_PHY_ANEG_TIMEOUT" with "phy_aneg_timeout".

phy_aneg_timeout
If set, the specified value will override CONFIG_PHY_ANEG_TIMEOUT.
This variable has the same base and unit as CONFIG_PHY_ANEG_TIMEOUT
which is "decimal" and "millisecond" respectively. The default value
of CONFIG_PHY_ANEG_TIMEOUT may be sufficient for most use-cases, but
certain link-partners may require a larger timeout due to the Ethernet
PHY they use. Alternatively, the timeout can be reduced as well if the
use-case demands it.
rng_seed_size
Size of random value added to device-tree node /chosen/rng-seed.
This variable is given as a decimal number.

Default PHY auto-negotiation timeout.
Value of PHY auto-negotiation timeout with the base being
"decimal" and the unit being "millisecond". This can be
overridden by the "phy_aneg_timeout" environment variable
that has the same base (decimal) and unit (millisecond).
