doc: migration: 4.2: Add information about net_mgmt API changes

Browse source 
Add information how the net_mgmt request handler is changed.
The event number type is changed from uint32_t to uint64_t to allow
the event command to be a bit mask instead of enum value.

need to update their response callback implementations. To retain current
behavior, simply return 0 from the callback.
* The API signature of ``net_mgmt`` event handler :c:type:`net_mgmt_event_handler_t` and
request handler :c:type:`net_mgmt_request_handler_t` has changed. The management event
type is changed from ``uint32_t`` to ``uint64_t``. The change allows event number values
to be bit masks instead of enum values. The layer code still stays as a enum value.
The :c:macro:`NET_MGMT_LAYER_CODE` and :c:macro:`NET_MGMT_GET_COMMAND` can be used to get
the layer code and management event command from the actual event value in the request or
event handlers if needed.
* The socket options for ``net_mgmt`` type sockets cannot directly be network management
event types as those are now ``uint64_t`` and the socket option expects a normal 32 bit
integer value. Because of this, a new ``SO_NET_MGMT_ETHERNET_SET_QAV_PARAM``
and ``SO_NET_MGMT_ETHERNET_GET_QAV_PARAM`` socket options are created that will replace
the previously used ``NET_REQUEST_ETHERNET_GET_QAV_PARAM`` and
``NET_REQUEST_ETHERNET_GET_QAV_PARAM`` options.
