Subject: ethtool.8: Change device name metavariable from 'ethX' to 'devname'

The name 'ethX' is a poor choice because:
- Many ethtool options are applicable to non-Ethernet devices
- Ethernet device names don't have to begin with 'eth', and the
  new convention is to use the prefix 'lan' for LAN-on-motherboard
  or 'pci' for PCI plug-in cards

The online help text already uses 'DEVNAME' instead, so change the
manual page to be consistent.
