ipv6 addrconf: Implemented enhanced DAD (RFC7527)
Implemented RFC7527 Enhanced DAD. IPv6 duplicate address detection can fail if there is some temporary loopback of Ethernet frames. RFC7527 solves this by including a random nonce in the NS messages used for DAD, and if an NS is received with the same nonce it is assumed to be a looped back DAD probe and is ignored. RFC7527 is enabled by default. Can be disabled by setting both of conf/{all,interface}/enhanced_dad to zero.

+ Include a nonce option in the IPv6 neighbor solicitation messages used for
+ duplicate address detection per RFC7527. A received DAD NS will only signal
+ a duplicate address if the nonce is different. This avoids any false
+ detection of duplicates due to loopback of the NS messages that we send.
+ The nonce option will be sent on an interface unless both of
+ conf/{all,interface}/enhanced_dad are set to FALSE.
