c085b6e3a7 platform/ethtool: add code to get/set offload features via ethtool
Also, add two more features "tx-tcp-segmentation" and
"tx-tcp6-segmentation". There are two reasons for that:

 - systemd-networkd supports setting these two features,
   so lets support them too (apparently they are important
   enough for networkd).

 - these two features are already implicitly covered by "tso".
   Like for the "ethtool" program, "tso" is an alias for several
   actual features. By adding two features that are already
   also covered by an alias (which sets multiple kernel names
   at once), we showcase how aliases for the same feature can
   coexist. In particular, note how setting
   "tso on tx-tcp6-segmentation off" will behave as one would
   expect: all 4 tso features covered by the alias are enabled,
   except that particular one.

df30651b89 libnm, cli, ifcfg-rh: add NMSettingEthtool setting
Note that in NetworkManager API (D-Bus, libnm, and nmcli),
the features are called "feature-xyz". The "feature-" prefix
is used, because NMSettingEthtool possibly will gain support
for options that are not only -K|--offload|--features, for
example -C|--coalesce.

The "xzy" suffix is either how ethtool utility calls the feature
("tso", "rx"). Or, if ethtool utility specifies no alias for that
feature, it's the name from kernel's ETH_SS_FEATURES ("tx-tcp6-segmentation").
If possible, we prefer ethtool utility's naming.

Also note, how the features "feature-sg", "feature-tso", and
"feature-tx" actually refer to multiple underlying kernel features
at once. This too follows what ethtool utility does.

The functionality is not yet implemented server-side.
