[PATCH v4] net: uclass: Save generated ethernet MAC addresses to the environment

[Michal Simek]

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 v4:
- Legacy code was c&p from DM which didn't work. CI found it that's why
  new version is required

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.
