[PATCH v5 2/2] net: phy: aquantia: use generic firmware loader

Aquantia PHYs are being used w/o SPI flash in some routers recently.
Current firmware loader only attempts to load from FS on top of MMC,
limiting the use on many devices.
Removed the old firmware loader, migrate to generic script based firmware
loader to allow a wider range and runtime override of firmware source.
(e.g., MMC, USB, UBIFS).
Tested on Buffalo WXR18000BE10P with UBIFS.

Changes in v5:
- Remove fsloader codepath
- Drop binding changes
- Make script name static
Changes in v4:
- Split firmware upload helpers change
- Reorder `aquantia_read_fw`
- Make `aquantia_read_fw` weak to allow overide
- Rename exit label in `aquantia_read_fw`
- Kconfig polish
Changes in v3:
- Select FW_LOADER with PHY_AQUANTIA_UPLOAD_FW
Changes in v2:
- Add support for script based loader
