net: hns3: unify copper port ksettings configuration path

Refactor hns3_set_link_ksettings() and hclge_set_phy_link_ksettings()
to unify the configuration path for copper ports.

[Severity: Medium]
Does removing this validation allow invalid configurations for native copper
PHYs?

The previous code explicitly rejected SPEED_1000 with AUTONEG_DISABLE because
IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T strictly requires autonegotiation. By delegating
directly to phy_ethtool_ksettings_set(), which permits this for 1000BASE-X,
the driver might now silently accept an invalid configuration.

[Severity: Critical]
Can handle->netdev->phydev be NULL here, leading to a kernel panic when called
from userspace?

A copper port can legitimately have a NULL phydev if the port's PHY address
is configured as PHY_INEXISTENT in the firmware. 

Because the updated hns3_set_link_ksettings() now routes all 
HNAE3_MEDIA_TYPE_COPPER configurations here without the previous 
if (netdev->phydev) guard, phy_ethtool_ksettings_set() will unconditionally
dereference phydev->mdio.addr.
