Some systems can use the normally known u16 alignment of
Ethernet addresses to save some code/text bytes and cycles.
This does not change currently emitted code on x86 by gcc 4.8.

Add a new check for CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to reduce
the number of or's used in the ether_addr_equal comparison to very
slightly improve function performance.
Simplify the ether_addr_equal_64bits implementation.
Integrate and remove the zap_last_2bytes helper as it's now
used only once.
Remove the now unused compare_ether_addr function.
Update the unaligned-memory-access documentation to remove the
compare_ether_addr description and show how unaligned accesses
could occur with ether_addr_equal.

Some etherdevices inherit their address from a parent or
master device. The addr_assign_type should be updated along
with the address in these cases. Adding a helper function
to simplify this.
