igc: add support for forcing link speed without autonegotiation

Allow users to force 10/100 Mb/s link speed and duplex via ethtool
when autonegotiation is disabled. Previously, the driver rejected
these requests with "Force mode currently not supported.".

Forcing at 1000 Mb/s and 2500 Mb/s is not supported.
