usb: net: update README.usb to list all USB ethernet options

- extend the discussion of USB network related config options such that
  all available adapter drivers are listed, and that the 'usb' command
  for the interactive prompt and scripting becomes available
- suggest to *not* put individual IP configuration parameters into the
  exectuable, but instead to put them into external environment or fetch
  them from network

 You can also set the default IP address of your board and the server
