[PATCH installer 8/8] unconfigured: try to retrieve IPv6 SLAAC addresses on startup

[Christoph Heiss <c.heiss@proxmox.com>]

Uses `rdisc6` to send IPv6 router solicitations, in order to get
potential router advertisements. The kernel then auto-configures any
retrieved IPv6 address on the corresponding interface.

`rdnssd` is used to to retrieve IPv6 (recursive) DNS servers from these
router advertisements.
