Previously, the check to turn on promiscuous mode only took into account
the total number of SHared Receive Address (SHRA) registers and if the
request was for a register within that range. It is possible that the
Management Engine might have locked a number of SHRA and not allowed a
new address to be written to the requested register.
Add a function to determine the number of unlocked SHRA registers. Then
determine if the number of registers available is sufficient for our needs,
if not then return -ENOMEM so that UNICAST PROMISC mode is activated.
Since the method by which ME claims SHRA registers is non-deterministic,
also add a return value to the function attempting to write an address
to a SHRA, and return a -E1000_ERR_CONFIG if the write fails. The error
will be passed up the function chain and allow the driver to also set
UNICAST PROMISC when this happens.

Move prototypes for functions which are applicable to all/most devices
supported by the driver and are specific to the MAC component of each
device to the new mac.h header file. These function prototypes can be used
by other files in the driver and moving them to the MAC-specific file makes
it clearer to which component they are applicable.
