[NET]: dev: secondary unicast address support

Add support for configuring secondary unicast addresses on network
devices. To support this devices capable of filtering multiple
unicast addresses need to change their set_multicast_list function
to configure unicast filters as well and assign it to dev->set_rx_mode
instead of dev->set_multicast_list. Other devices are put into promiscous
mode when secondary unicast addresses are present.
