In IPv6, the default gateway and prefix length are determined by receiving
a router advertisement as defined in -
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4861.
Add support for sending router solicitation (RS) and processing router
advertisements (RA).
If the RA has prefix info option and following conditions are met, then
gatewayip6 and net_prefix_length of ip6addr env variables are initialized.
These are later consumed by IPv6 code for non-local destination IP.
- "Router Lifetime" != 0
- Prefix is NOT link-local prefix (0xfe80::/10)
- L flag is 1
- "Valid Lifetime" != 0
Timing Parameters:
- MAX_RTR_SOLICITATION_DELAY (0-1s)
- RTR_SOLICITATION_INTERVAL (4s) (min retransmit delay)
- MAX_RTR_SOLICITATIONS (3 RS transmissions)
The functionality is enabled by CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_DISCOVERY and invoked
automatically from net_init_loop().

Commands "ping6" and "tftpboot ... -ipv6" did not work on ARM because
machine code expects 4-byte alignment and some structures from net6.h
are not aligned in memory.
Fix by adding __packed, since it is already used in this file.

Implement ping6 command to ping hosts using IPv6. It works the same way as
an ordinary ping command. There is no ICMP request so it is not possible
to ping our host. This patch adds options in Kconfig and Makefile to
build ping6 command.
Series-changes: 3
- Added structures and functions descriptions
- Added to ping6_receive() return value instead of void
Series-changes: 4
- Fixed structures and functions description style

Functions that were exposed in "net: ipv6: Add IPv6 basic primitives"
had only empty implementations and were exposed as API for futher
patches. This patch add implementation of these functions. Main
functions are: net_ip6_handler() - IPv6 packet handler for incoming
packets; net_send_udp_packet6() - make up and send an UDP packet;
csum_ipv6_magic() - compute checksum of IPv6 "psuedo-header" per RFC2460
section 8.1; ip6_addr_in_subnet() - check if an address is in our
subnet. Other functions are auxiliary.
Series-changes: 3
- Added comments
- Fixed style problems
- Fixed return codes instead of -1

This functions is used as a converter from IPv6 address string notation
to struct ip6_addr that is used everywhere in IPv6 implementation. For
example it is used to parse and convert IPv6 address from tftpboot
command. Conversion algorithm uses two passes, first to verify syntax and
locate colons and second pass to read the address. In case of valid IPv6
address it returns 0.
Examples of valid strings:
2001:db8::0:1234:1
2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:1234:0001
::1
::ffff:192.168.1.1
Examples of invalid strings
2001:db8::0::0 (:: can only appear once)
2001:db8:192.168.1.1::1 (v4 part can only appear at the end)
192.168.1.1 (we don't implicity map v4)

This patch is a collection of basic primitives that are prerequisite for
further IPv6 implementation.
There are structures definition such as IPv6 header, UDP header
(for TFTP), ICMPv6 header. There are auxiliary defines such as protocol
codes, padding, struct size and etc. Also here are functions prototypes
and its empty implementation that will be used as API for further patches.
Here are variables declaration such as IPv6 address of our host,
gateway, ipv6 server.
Series-changes: 3
- Added functions and structures descriptions
- Removed enums ND_OPT_*. It will be moved into further patches
- Substituted -1 for error codes
