net: use helpers to access mc list V2

This patch introduces the similar helpers as those already done for uc list.
However multicast lists are no list_head lists but "mademanually". The three
macros added by this patch will make the transition of mc_list to list_head
smooth in two steps:

1) convert all drivers to use these macros (with the original iterator of type
   "struct dev_mc_list")
2) once all drivers are converted, convert list type and iterators to "struct
   netdev_hw_addr" in one patch.

>From now on, drivers can (and should) use "netdev_for_each_mc_addr" to iterate
over the addresses with iterator of type "struct netdev_hw_addr". Also macros
"netdev_mc_count" and "netdev_mc_empty" to read list's length. This is the state
which should be reached in all drivers.
