Add new network module providing standard MicroPython network API for configuring WiFi and Ethernet interfaces on Zephyr RTOS. This enables interface activation, connection management, and IP configuration. Features: - network.WLAN class for WiFi configuration (connect, disconnect, status) - network.LAN class for Ethernet configuration - ifconfig() method returns IP, netmask, gateway, and DNS server - Event-driven connection status tracking via Zephyr net_mgmt - DHCP support with fallback DNS configuration Files modified: - ports/zephyr/modnetwork.c (new) - ports/zephyr/modsocket.c (major refactoring) - ports/zephyr/mpconfigport.h - ports/zephyr/CMakeLists.txt - ports/zephyr/main.c - ports/zephyr/prj.conf 🤖 Generated with the help of [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Signed-off-by: Ned Konz <ned@metamagix.tech>

I'm still working on getting this complete and passing the tests. |

This is great! But please make sure it matches the existing API, in particular:

Alright, I'll try coming up with something for WLAN |

Summary
This PR adds a new network module providing standard MicroPython network API for configuring WiFi and Ethernet interfaces on Zephyr RTOS. This enables interface activation, connection management, and IP configuration.
Although there was a socket module, it was impossible to use sockets in a real board because of the lack of a network module allowing control of Ethernet and Wifi hardware.

Testing
I've tested this on my MIMXRT1020_EVK board using its Ethernet interface. I haven't had a chance to make a board configuration for a wifi-enabled board yet (I have Rpi Pico W boards available).
