Document AX88772B and AX88760. AX88760 is treated as AX88772A in
driver. Mention all ASIX USB controllers that are supported by axe(4). Reword media types and explicly mention AX88178 is the only controller that supports gigabit link. While I'm here use shorten model instead of showing all controller model numbers.
