Rather than let "EthernetInterface" be the base EMAC NetworkInterface,
insert an "EMACInterface" class.
EthernetInterface then derives from EMACInterface and EthInterface.
A Wi-Fi driver can derive from EMACInterface and WiFiInterface - this
will be more logical than deriving from EthernetInterface and
WiFiInterface.
This does mean adding a couple of virtual inheritances to avoid
duplicate NetworkInterfaces:
NetworkInterface

virtual / \ virtual

EMACInterface WiFiInterface

Initial work by Bartek Szatkowski in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/pull/4079,
reworked following review of https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/pull/5202 to
transform the entire system into C++, retaining the basic functionality.
Bartek's summary:
* Porting ethernet to EMAC
* Updating EMAC to enable multiple interfaces
* Untangling networking classes, making the abstractions a bit clearer to follow, etc
* General refactoring
* Removal of DEVICE_EMAC flag and introducing DEVICE_ETH and DEVICE_WIFI
Revisions since initial branch:
* Remove lwip depencies
* Correct doxygen warnings
* Remove emac_api.h, replace with C++ EMAC abstract class.
* Create OnboardNetworkInterface, and LWIP implementation.
* Mappings since #4079
lwip-interface/nsapi_stack_lwip.c -> LWIPStack.cpp
lwip-interface/ipstack_lwip.c -> LWIPInterface.cpp
netsocket/mbed_ipstack.h -> OnboardNetworkStack.h
hal/emac_api.h -> EMAC.h
* Reinstate use of EthInterface abstraction
* Correct and clarify HW address EMAC ops
* Restore MBED_MAC_ADDR implementation
* Integrate PPP support with LWIP::Interface.
* Convert K64F lwIP driver to K64F_EMAC.
To do:
* Convert emac_stack_mem.h to follow this pattern.
* Figure out DEVICE_ETH/EMAC
* Update all drivers to use EMAC
