The things that are done prior to executing a network command with
NET_LWIP are not consistent with what is done with NET. It impacts the
selection of the current device, and more precisely if the active device
is invalid NET would return an error while NET_LWIP would try to pick a
new device. This incorrect behavior was detected thanks to the eth_rotate
sandbox test (dm_test_eth_rotate()).
Fix it by re-using a sequence similar to what NET has in net_loop().
This piece of code is inserted in a function called net_lwip_eth_start()
renamed from net_lwip_eth_set_current().

Move the initialization of the ethernet devices out of the new_netif()
function. Indeed, new_netif() accepts a struct device argument, which
is expected to be valid and active. The activation and selection of
this device are achieved by eth_init() (on first time the network
stack is used) and eth_set_current(). This is what takes care of the
ethrotate and ethact environment variables. Therefore, move these calls
to a new function: net_lwip_set_current(), and use it whenever a
net-lwip command is run.
This patch hopefully fixes the incorrect net-lwip behavior observed on
boards with multiple ethernet interfaces [1].
Tested on an i.MX8MPlus EVK equipped wih two ethernet ports. The dhcp
command succeeds whether the cable is plugged into the first or second
port.

Add support for setting the TFTP block size. The default value (1468)
is fine for Ethernet and allows a better throughput than the TFTP
default (512), if the server supports the blksize option of course.
I tested this change with qemu_arm64_lwip_defconfig. The throughput is
now 875 KiB/s vs. 313 KiB/s before. That is still a low number, but I
think we can't expect more without implementing the windowsize option.

Implement do_tftpb(). This implementation of the tftp command
supports an optional port number. For example:
tftp 192.168.0.30:9069:file.bin
It also supports taking the server IP from ${tftpserverip} if
defined, before falling back to ${serverip}.

Add what it takes to enable NETDEVICES with NET_LWIP and enable DHCP as
well as the dhcp command. CMD_TFTPBOOT is selected by BOOTMETH_EFI due
to this code having an implicit dependency on do_tftpb().
Note that PXE is likely non-fonctional with NET_LWIP (or at least not
100% functional) because DHCP option 209 is not supported by the lwIP
library. Therefore, BOOTP_PXE_DHCP_OPTION cannot be enabled.
