ixgbe: Update link setup code to better support autonegotiation of speed

The current code has some flaws in it when performing autonegotiation,
especially on KX/KX4 links.  This patch updates the code to better handle
the autonegotiation states on link setup.  The patch also removes a redundant
link configuration call on driver load, and moves link configuration to
the ->open() path.
