Add runtime power management support to the mhi_net driver to align with
the updated MHI framework, which expects runtime PM to be enabled by client
drivers. This ensures the controller remains active during data transfers
and can autosuspend when idle.

The driver now uses pm_runtime_get() and pm_runtime_put() around
transmit, receive, and buffer refill operations. Runtime PM is initialized
during probe with autosuspend enabled and a 100ms delay. The device is
marked with pm_runtime_no_callbacks() to notify PM framework that there
are no callbacks for this driver.

Do we need to consider updating client driver (net/qrtr/mhi.c) ?
