r8169: add ltr support for RTL8116af

This patch adds ltr support for RTL8116af, enables RTL8116af enter l1.2
state. This makes sense for the system to enter c10 state.

[Severity: High]
Does this completely redefine the LTR enable sequence for all devices using
RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_52? Since older devices like RTL8117 also use this MAC
version, could this cause regressions for them by replacing the previous
fallthrough behavior? Should there be a check to ensure this only runs for
the newly added RTL8116af?

[Severity: High]
This unconditionally modifies SEND_LTR_MSG at the end of rtl_enable_ltr(),
which is called for multiple MAC versions. Was it intended to apply globally
to all chips, or should this change also be restricted to RTL8116af?

[Severity: High]
Since older devices also use rtl_hw_start_8117(), will applying these register
changes unconditionally to all RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_52 devices affect the hardware
initialization of existing devices? Could we add a check to restrict these
tweaks specifically to RTL8116af?

[Severity: High]
Like the changes above in rtl_hw_start_8117(), these magic register updates
will be applied to RTL8117 as well. Can this break link stability or ASPM
for existing devices by replacing their expected register values?
