net: qualcomm: rmnet: add tx packets aggregation

Add tx packets aggregation.

Bidirectional TCP throughput tests through iperf with low-cat
Thread-x based modems revelead performance issues both in tx
and rx.

The Windows driver does not show this issue: inspecting USB
packets revealed that the only notable change is the driver
enabling tx packets aggregation.

Tx packets aggregation is by default disabled and can be enabled
by increasing the value of ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_MAX_AGGR_FRAMES.

The maximum aggregated size is by default set to a reasonably low
value in order to support the majority of modems.

This implementation is based on patches available in Code Aurora
repositories (msm kernel) whose main authors are
