[PATCH 4/6] common/sfc_efx/base: deny tuning FCS and flow control to VFs

Medford4 VFs can configure MAC settings via the netport MCDI,
but controlling FCS stripping and setting flow control mode
are off limits. Express all this in code to allow the DPDK
driver to start and forbid changes to FCS and flow control.
For what it's worth, changing MTU is allowed on VFs, but
the value must be less than or equal to the PF's MTU.
