Add downcast methods to NetworkInterface

As we've introduced virtual inheritance to support EMACInterface, we can
no longer use C-style casts or static_cast to downcast from
NetworkInterface to more specific types. RTTI is disabled in the
toolchains, so dynamic_cast is unavailables.

Add virtual downcast methods to permit conversions to the 6 derived
classes. Probably only needed for EMACInterface, WiFiInterface and
EthInterface, but handles the set.
