IPv6 subnets on exitnodes had no working local-routing path. Add a v6
address on the xvrf veth pair and install IPv6 routes via that next-hop.
Signed-off-by: Hannes Laimer <h.laimer@proxmox.com>

v2:
- change `address6` to `address`, ifreload2 does not pick up address6.
Probably had the address still attached from manualy testing so I
didn't notice when I tested this for v1

Wouldn't it make sense to use the link-local address instead? For IPv4
it would make sense as well imo to use an APIPA address instead, but
technically that's a breaking change. I guess we could even route all
IPv4 traffic via the IPv6 link-local address.

I did try just
`ipv6 route $cidr xvrf_$zoneid`
since I assumed it would end up using the ll address, but it didn't. I
am not super sure why, maybe cause it would be cross-vrf(?).
Or did you mean just putting the ll address there explicitly?
