ether_addr_equal: Optimize implementation, remove unused compare_ether_addr

Add a new check for CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to reduce
the number of or's used in the ether_addr_equal comparison to very
slightly improve function performance.

Simplify the ether_addr_equal_64bits implementation.
Integrate and remove the zap_last_2bytes helper as it's now
used only once.

Remove the now unused compare_ether_addr function.

Update the unaligned-memory-access documentation to remove the
compare_ether_addr description and show how unaligned accesses
could occur with ether_addr_equal.
