[PATCHv3] net: uclass: Save generated ethernet MAC addresses to the environment

[Tom Rini]

From: Michal Simek <michal.simek at xilinx.com>

When a MAC address is randomly generated we currently only update the
appropriate data structure.  For consistency and to re-align with
historic usage, it should be also saved to the appropriate environment
variable as well.

Changes in v3:
- Update Kconfig help text with Wolfgang's suggestion
- Reword the commit message to hopefully be clearer

Changes in v2:
- Update Kconfig help text to reflect this change.
- Update the legacy path to match.
