DM9000: improve eth_send() routine

The eth_send routine of the U-boot DM9000x driver does not match the
DM9000 or DM9000A application notes/programming guides.

This change improves the stability of the DM9000A network controller.

This change has been tested with DM9000A, DM9000E, DM9000EP.

                        - Added autodetect of databus width.
                        - Made debug code compile again.

+                         for DM9000A.
