[ethernet] Only compile JL1101 driver when needed

- Exclude esp_eth_phy_jl1101.c when JL1101 is not configured
- Exclude on IDF 5.4.2-5.x where pioarduino has it builtin
- Keep custom driver for IDF < 5.4.2 and IDF 6.0+ (pioarduino may
  not have patched JL1101 into their IDF 6.0 fork yet)
- Always use esp_eth_phy_new_jl1101() in C++ (no generic fallback)
- Namespace ethernet type in CORE.data[KEY_ETHERNET]
