base: fix some bugs in EthAddr

per the IEEE 802 spec:
1) fixed broadcast() to ensure that all bytes are equal to 0xff.
2) fixed unicast() to ensure that bit 0 of the first byte is equal to 0
3) fixed multicast() to ensure that bit 0 of the first byte is equal to 1, and
   that it is not a broadcast.

also the constructors in EthAddr are fixed so that all bytes of data are
initialized.
