phylib does not wait for link

The current phylib behaviour is unusable for unattended network boot, we
need to do something about it.
We currently have no instance that would wait until a link comes up.
This may work for the default-3-seconds-boot-timeout which is enough for
most phys, but fails with smaller timeouts.
There are several places in which we could wait for a link to come up, I
have no idea which one is the best:
- eth_send
- phylib
- in the protocols (dhcp, ping, ...)
Anyway, this deserves fixing before the next release.
