drivers/net: Kconfig & Makefile cleanup
The is does a general cleanup of the drivers/net/ Kconfig and
Makefile. This patch create a "core" option and places all
the networking core drivers into this option (default is yes
for this option). In addition, it alphabitizes the Kconfig
driver options.
As a side cleanup, found that the arcnet, token ring, and PHY
Kconfig options were a tri-state option and should have been
a bool option.
