WIP: Add new socket type for raw ethernet protocols

[ususdei]

Hi everyone!

I'm currently working on a rust library for a protocol which runs on plain ethernet using a custom ethertype (TECMP on 0x99FE).
It also uses an additional IP-based protocol for discovery and configuration.

I would also like to use this library on some STM32, so I tried to port it from native linux sockets to the smoltcp stack.

So I started to implement some basic support for raw ethernet sockets.
This is still very much work in progress and essentially untested but I would like to get some early feedback as to whether you would even consider merging something like this.

So just some initial questions:

• Is this feature even in scope for the smoltcp project?
• Do you agree with my overall design?
• Do you already have any other initial feedback?

Thank you all for your feedback and your great contribution to the embedded rust ecosystem!
