[ethernet] Use standard 1500 byte MTU unless explicitly overridden
Devices that support jumbo frames will currently default to the largest possible MTU. This assumption is valid for virtual adapters such as virtio-net, where the MTU must have been configured by a system administrator, but is unsafe in the general case of a physical adapter. Default to the standard Ethernet MTU, unless explicitly overridden either by the driver or via the ${netX/mtu} setting. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
