[mac-frame] add DetermineFcfAddrType() helper (#10780)

This commit adds the `DetermineFcfAddrType()` helper function, which
determines the Frame Control Field (FCF) address type for a given
address. The result is bit-shifted based on whether the address is
the source or destination and whether the frame uses the general
format or is a multipurpose frame. This helper simplifies methods
that prepare MAC headers.
