dt-bindings: net: pcs: mediatek,sgmiisys: deprecate "mediatek,pnswap"

Reference the common PHY properties, and update the example to use them.
Note that a PCS subnode exists, and it seems a better container of the
polarity description than the SGMIISYS node that hosts "mediatek,pnswap".
So use that.

dt-bindings: net: pcs: renesas,rzn1-miic: Add phy_link property

Add the renesas,miic-phy-link-active-low property to allow configuring
the active level of phy_link status signals provided by the MIIC block.

EtherPHY link-up and link-down status is required as a hardware IP
feature independent of whether GMAC or ETHSW is used. With GMAC, link
state is retrieved via MDC/MDIO and handled in software. In contrast,
ETHSW exposes dedicated PHY_LINK pins that provide this information
directly in hardware.

These PHY_LINK signals are required not only for host-controlled traffic
but also for switch-only forwarding paths where frames are exchanged
between external nodes without CPU involvement. This is particularly
important for redundancy protocols such as DLR (Device Level Ring),
which depend on fast detection of link-down events caused by cable or
port failures. Handling such events purely in software introduces
latency, which is why ETHSW provides dedicated hardware PHY_LINK pins.
