base-files: add function to retrieve label MAC address
To refer to the MAC address on a device's label, one can specify the alias label-mac-device in the DTS which should point to the bearer of the corresponding MAC address. With the function get_mac_label, the user can retrieve then retrieve this address and use it as a value that uniquely identifies his device. This is severely helpful for several downstream functionalities, e.g. define MAC addresses of custom netifs or change the SSID to be easily recognizable.
