This adds the transmit half of a MAC, supporting 100M and half-duplex.
It's roughly analogous to the axis_(x)gmii_tx modules in Alex
Forencich's ethernet repo. I've taken the approach of moving all state
into the state variable. All decisions are made once and have a
different state for each path. For example, instead of checking against
a "bytes_sent" variable to determine what to do on collision, we have a
different state for each set of actions.
This whole module is heinously complex, especially because of the many
corner cases caused by the spec. I have probably not tested it nearly
enough, but the basics of sending packets have mostly had the bugs wrung
out.
