When a routine calls PhysAddr->validate to validate an L2 address the descriptive message is lost by just returning a boolean success or failure. Instead allow passing in a reference to a scalar to give the calling function an opportunity to give the user more information about the specifics behind Netdot rejecting the MAC address they entered. Small amounts of whitespace formatting were performed in this commit as well as the functional changes. Changes such as removing trailing whitespace in functions that were touched and also replacing tabs with four spaces.
