dev: Turn EtherObject into an interface class.
This class used to drive from SimObject so that it could be derived
from to get both the interface and SimObject while still using single
inheritance.
With this change, EtherObject is now just an interface class with only
one pure virtual function which can be inherited alongside SimObject.
This makes it more flexible so that it can be used in places where you
might want a different inheritance hierarchy, for instance to inherit
from MemObject.
