net: ethernet: Add Kconfig option to forward unrecognized EtherType frames

Browse source 
Add Kconfig option to the Ethernet L2 which allows to forward frames
with unknown EtherType further into the stack. This can be useful for
packet sockets, where further frame processing is application dependent.

When enabled, the Ethernet L2 will forward even those frames for which
it does not recognize the EtherType in the header. By default, such
frames are dropped at the L2 processing.
