Address PR review feedback from liamcottle (second round)

- Rename eth command to eth.status for consistency with other commands
- Rename generateDeviceMac to generateEthernetMac for clarity
- Refactor ethernet_handle_command to return false by default
- Allow new TCP clients to replace existing connections (repeater, room server, SerialEthernetInterface)
- Boot companion radio without Ethernet on init failure (LoRa-only recovery mode)
- Remove > prompt from ethernet CLI for consistency with serial interface
- Fix variable redeclaration compile error in SerialEthernetInterface when ETHERNET_STATIC_IP is defined
- Fix TCP socket leak when duplicate client detection fires
- Remove dead recv_queue and adv_restart_time members from SerialEthernetInterface
- Fix port numbers in docs (port 23 for repeater/room server CLI, port 5000 for companion radio)
- Clarify eth.status command is only available in repeater and room server firmware

### Ethernet (when Ethernet support is compiled in)
Ethernet support is available on RAK4631 boards with a RAK13800 (W5100S) Ethernet module. Use the `_eth` firmware variants (e.g. `RAK_4631_repeater_eth`) to enable this feature.

#### View Ethernet connection status
**Usage:**
- `eth`
- `eth.status`
**Output:**
- `ETH: <ip>:<port>` when connected (e.g. `ETH: 192.168.1.50:5000`)
- `ETH: <ip>:<port>` when connected (e.g. `ETH: 192.168.1.50:23`)
- `ETH: not connected` when Ethernet is not active
**Notes:**
- Available on repeater and room server firmware only. Companion radio ethernet firmware does not expose a CLI.
- The Ethernet interface obtains an IP address via DHCP automatically on boot.
- A TCP server listens on port 5000 (default) for CLI connections.
- For repeaters and room servers, connect with any TCP client (e.g. `nc`, PuTTY) to access the same CLI available over serial.
- For companion radio firmware, the Ethernet interface replaces BLE/USB as the transport to companion apps.
- A TCP server listens on port 23 (default) for CLI connections.
- Connect with any TCP client (e.g. `nc`, PuTTY) to access the same CLI available over serial.
