      .Nmstate now supports configuring FEC settings for network interfaces

      With this enhancement, you can now use Nmstate to apply Forward Error Correction (FEC) modes, such as `RS-FEC`, `Base-R` and `Disabled` to interfaces. These settings are crucial for improving data transmission reliability by detecting and correcting errors without retransmission. As a result, you can now use Nmstate to apply FEC settings instead of manually configuring them or using platform-specific tools.

      This is a clone of issue RHEL-80725 to use for version rhel-10.1
      –
      Original description:
      Enhance NMState to include support for Forward Error Correction (FEC).

      Currently, configuring FEC requires manual intervention using ethtool, which is not persistent across reboots and upgrades. Integrating FEC support into NMState would allow users to define and manage FEC settings declaratively through network configuration policies. This would enable seamless automation, ensure persistence across system reboots and upgrades, and simplify deployment in large-scale environments.

      Adding this capability to NMState would provide a more efficient and scalable way to manage FEC settings, reducing manual efforts and potential misconfigurations.
